1 The composition of the diets was calculated based on the composition of the feedstuffs and their respective percentage of incorporation into the feed; 2 Mycotoxin content was measured by a private laboratory (Laboratoire de Développement et d’Analyses des Côtes d’Armor, Ploufragan, France); 3 Method NF EN 12955; 4 Method 7D MA 6–24; ND: not detectable.
