From: The effect of caponization on tibia bone histomorphometric properties of crossbred roosters
Thin immature collagen content (A), thick mature collagen content (B), thick/thin collagen ratio (C) in compact bone in the midshaft of tibia bone of 16-week-old, 20-week-old and 24-week-old roosters and capons. Data are presented as least squares means (LSM) and standard error of mean (SE), a, b, c—mean values between age groups within roosters with different letters differ significantly p < 0.05; (A,B,C) mean values between age groups within capons with different letters differ significantly p < 0.05; #significant difference between capons and roosters within age (p < 0.05).
