1 C = Basal diet; 2 A = basal diet supplemented with 30 mg/kg bacitracin; 3 BLF = basal diet supplemented with 1 g/kg BLF; 4 AF = basal diet supplemented with 15 mg/kg bacitracin and 0.5 g/kg BLF; 5 SEM = standard error of mean; 6 data are mean values of 3 replicate per treatment (8 piglets per replicate); a,b means that have no superscript in common are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05).
