- a, b, c, d, e Figures sharing different letters on the same column differ at P < 0.05. Significant differences in flock size, sheep and/or goat heads per holding, milk per adult female in flock, fecundity and the share of grazing on covering energy requirements of sheep and goats are observed between the various regions of Greece (A compilation of data produced by the Department of Nutritional Physiology and Feeding at the Agricultural University of Athens).
