There was no animal mortality during the experimental period. ¹ HM has 1.0 μg/kg of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and 2258 μg/kg of deoxynivalenol (DON) on average for phases 1 and 2, and 44.6 μg/kg of AFB1 and 4635 μg/kg of DON for phase 3. ^a,b Means with different superscripts differ (p < 0.05). ^X,Y Means with different superscripts tend to differ (0.05 ≤ p < 0.10).
