1 YCWE: yeast cell wall extract; 2 RBC: red blood cells; 3 MCV: mean corpuscular volume; 4 MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; 5 MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; 6 WBC: white blood cells. MT-: diet without aflatoxin B1 and fumonisin B1; MT+: inclusion of 180 μg/kg aflatoxin B1 and 14 mg/kg fumonisin B1 by replacing the clean corn with naturally mycotoxin-contaminated corn; YC 0%: no addition of YCWE (Mycosorb A+, Alltech, Nicholasville, KY, USA); YC 0.2%: YCWE added at 2 g/kg of feed. AB Means within a row lacking a common superscript tend to differ (0.05 ≤ p < 0.1).
