  1. AFE represents age at first egg; EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4, and TEN represent total egg numbers in each of the five stages (from onset of laying eggs to 195 d, from 196 to 227 d, from 228 to 307 d, from 308 to 354 d, and from the onset of laying eggs to 354 d, respectively); SD represents standard deviation; CV represents coefficient of variation
