TBAC (mmol/L)2 | 29.1b | 26.6b | 40.6a | 43.3a | 43.8a | 1.583 | 0.001 |

Crude protein | 0.75 | 0.78 | 0.74 | 0.79 | 0.75 | 0.007 | 0.193 |
Ether extract | 0.78 | 0.79 | 0.79 | 0.79 | 0.79 | 0.008 | 0.987 |
Treatments: T1 control, T2 avilamycin, T3 crude ethanol extract (CEE) of Jakr-Na-Rai (JNR) granules (0.13% flavonoid), T4 JNR powder (0.13% flavonoid), and T5 JNR powder (0.26% flavonoid).
Mean value from six replications per treatment on day 41.
Pooled ileal content samples from two birds per replication on day 41.
Means in the same row with different superscript letters are significantly different (P<0.05).
DM=dry matter.
