a–cThe means values placed at the rows by different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). Values are expressed as means ± standard error. Abbreviations: (A) control negative (basal diet), (B) control positive (basal diet supplemented with clostridia infection), (C) control positive group diet with 100 g DETOXIZYME/ton of feed, (D) control negative diet group with 100 g DETOXIZYME/ton of feed.
