Values with different superscripts in the same row are significantly different (P < 0.05). SEM, standard error of the mean; ALB, albumin; TP, total protein; CHOL, cholesterol; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; GLU, glucose; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; TG, triglyceride; Ca, calcium; P, phosphorus. Ronozyme HiPhos-L, 6-phytase produced by the strain of Aspergillus oryzae was used to supply 1,000 FTY per kg of feed.
