Data shown are mean ± SD (standard deviation, n = 10); the zearalenone dose of ZEN-contaminated feed is 60 mg/kg; the organ coefficient = organ weight/body weight; K: feeding the basal feed group; ZEN: feeding the ZEN-contaminated feed group; A2: feeding the A2 fermented feed group; A2 + ZEN: feeding the A2 fermented ZEN-contaminated feed group. In the same row: * indicates compared to the base feed group; # indicates compared to the ZEN-contaminated feed group; “*” and “#” indicate significant differences (p < 0.05); “**” and “##” indicate very significant differences (p < 0.01).
