The effect of concentrate:forage ratio in the diet and milking frequency on performance was investigated in a 2×2 factorial block design comprising 40 Danish Holstein dairy cows from parturition to week 16 of lactation.
A randomised block design comprising three replicates was employed, with three independent transformed lines for each of the three promoter constructs and one wild type (WT) line allocated at random within each replicate (n = 30).
All field trials were set in a completely randomized block design comprising 11 treatments, with six replicates.
In spring 2008, plants of 463 genotypes were planted in an experimental field in Pustnäs, south of Uppsala (59°48′ N, 17°39′E, 25 m), at a spacing of 130 × 50 cm (i.e., about 20,000 plants ha– 1), according to a randomized complete block design comprising six blocks with one plant per genotype in each.
The experiment comprised a randomized block design composed of a control and 8 treatments with four replicates.
IQ was measured using the shortened Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III; Wechsler, 1997a, 1997b) which comprises the Digit Symbol Coding, Arithmetic, Information and Block Design sub-components of the full WAIS assessment; 39 participants completed this assessment.
During the 2006 2007 and 2007 2008 crop seasons, a yield potential trial comprising 18 leading and new cultivars released between 1981 and 2008 was conducted at two locations, using a completely randomised block design of three replicates.
The block design of deception experiments has limited external validity.
Judges were looking for imaginative, energy efficient designs comprised of responsibly sourced materials.
The diets were fed to 300 pigs in a randomized complete block design with 5 groups of pigs over time (blocks), with each block comprising 6 pens of 10 piglets.
