¹Values are the mean of six replicates per treatment (N=270)

²Pooled standard error of mean

CON: control diet (phosphorous-sufficient diet with dicalcium phosphate)

LPY: phosphorous-deficient diet with 0.01% phytase (500 FTU/kg) without dicalcium phosphate

HPY: phosphorous-deficient diet with 0.02% phytase (1000 FTU/kg) without dicalcium phosphate
