Effect of dietary supplementation with increasing levels of Muramidase 007 (T1 = 0 LSU(F)/kg feed, T2 = 65,000 LSU(F)/kg feed, T3 = 325,000 LSU(F)/kg feed, T4 = 650,000 LSU(F)/kg feed) on average daily feed and water consumption (day 0–42) and hematology profile for all pigs on day 42 of the study. Different letters indicate significant differences between the groups (p < 0.05).
