  1. Values represent the least square means (LSMEANS) of eight birds/genotype and age with a common standard error (not shown). Significance (denoted by *) between FL and LL was determined at P≤0.05 using Fisher’s least significance difference (LSD) test. Rows in boldface type present the FL/LL ratio of abdominal fat weight (g) and abdominal fat as a percent of body weight (%BW).
