Control: Group with basal feed; P1: Basal feed+CLE, 1.25 g/kg of feed; P2: Basal feed+CLE, 2.5 g/kg of feed; P3: Basal feed+CLE, 5 g/kg of feed; P4: Basal feed+CLE, 10 g/kg of feed; P5: Basal feed+CLE, 20 g/kg of feed. Mean±SD, a-cddifferent letters on values in the same row indicate a significant difference (p<0.05), nsvalues do not differ significantly (p≥0.05).
