- Values are the mean percentages of total cells ± SD per tissue of 5 chickens, each with three technical repeats. Statistical differences between groups were assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by a Duncan post-hoc test. Means labelled with different superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05) between organs at different sampling days.
