a–c Superscripts above the averages for each parameter within rows express the significant difference (p < 0.05). 1 Dietary groups (T1, T2, T3, and T4) were supplemented with Pulicaria jaubertii at levels of 0, 3, 6, and 9 g per kg of the basal diet. 2 SEM = Standard error of means for groups effect.
