  1. Statistics include number of individuals, mean, and standard deviation. Significance tests were performed between the fat (F) and lean (L) lines for testis weight (TeW) and testis percentage (TeP), separately. For each generation, different notations (A or B) indicate a significant difference between the two lines at a significance level of 5%
