Period Duration   Losses n   days % % Hatching period 16.4 ± 2.2b 20.6 ± 2.8b 7.8 ± 3.8b 11 Initial feeding period 29.3 ± 4.3a 36.8 ± 5.4a 10.7 ± 3.5a 11 Rearing period 33.9 ± 3.2a 42.6 ± 4.0a 2.6 ± 0.8c 11 Production cycle 79.6 ± 4.7 ___ 21.1 ± 2.8 11

Table 2: The average duration of each period of production cycle (days, %) average losses during each period (%), and the number of observed production cycles (n). Data are presented as mean ± STD. Different alphabetic superscripts in the same column indicate significant differences at α = 0.05 (ANOVA, Tukey’s post hoc test).
