Each value represents the mean of 16 replicates (1 bird per replicate×4 replicates per treatment×4 measurements per section).

^a,b,c

Means with in the same row with different letters are significantly different (P<0.05).

DFM-1=B. amyloliquefaceins; DFM-2=the mixture of B. amyloliquefaceins and S. cerevisiae.
