^a,bLeast square of means within a row without a common superscript letter differ (p<0.05).

¹Each least squares mean represents 4 pens with 2 birds sampled per pen.

²The number of days in the parenthesis represents each experimental period.

³The carcass yield is based on the live weight of chickens.

⁴The meat yield and liver index is based on the carcass weight of chickens.
