Note: The control group (L0) was fed commercial complete feed with no added FAM, The treatment group (L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5) was fed commercial complete feed supplemented with FAM (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 4%, respectively). TP, total protein; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In the same row, values with different small letter superscripts mean significant difference (p < 0.05, n = 9).
