LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; GGT, gamma-glutamyltransferase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; BMD, bacitracin methylene disalicylate (antibiotic growth promoter); PFA, phytogenic feed additive; ANOVA, analysis of variance; SEM, pooled standard error of column wise means comparison.
Means with different letters within the same column are significantly different (p≤0.05).
