Characterization and Strength Quality of the Oryctolagus cuniculus Leather Compared to Oreochromis niloticus Leather

Table 1

Average thickness values and determination of the progressive tearing tests of the Nile tilapia and rabbit leather specimens.

Progressive tearing
Treatment	Thickness (mm)	Tear (N mm^−1)	Maximum force (N)
Rabbit	1.43 ± 0.22^a	24.25 ± 4.34^b	34.08 ± 5.48^b
Nile tilapia	1.00 ± 0.12^b	53.85 ± 6.66^a	54.08 ± 8.92^a
C.V. (%)	15.35	14.69	17.54
P value	<0.0001	<0.0001	<0.0001

Means ± standard deviation; if there are different letters (^a,b) there is a statistically significant difference through the F test (P < 0.05); C.V. = coefficient of Variation.
