Fig. 3From: Effects of birth-rearing type on weaning weights in meat sheep are systematically associated with differences in mean performance among flocksMeans and residual standard deviations and coefficients of variation among birth types for birth weights and among birth-rearing types for weaning weights. Means and standard deviations (SD) are expressed as percentage deviations from the reference class (twin-born lambs for birth weight and twin-born, twin-reared lambs for weaning weights). Coefficients of variation (CV) are expressed as absolute deviations from the reference class. †, *, **, *** indicate that residual variances or CV differ from those observed for twin lambs at P < 0.10, 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001, respectively, by F-test with Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisonsBack to article page
