Table 2.

Effects of dietary genistein on the growth performance of chicks at 21 D of age.

Treatment Body weight gain (g) Feed intake (g) Feed-gain ratio
CON 700 ± 19a 959 ± 13a 1.38 ± 0.11
LPS 548 ± 16c 826 ± 13c 1.51 ± 0.13
LPS + GEN 605 ± 38b 863 ± 11b 1.43 ± 0.30
P value 0.002 <0.001 0.348

The data were expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 4 replicate cages).

a-cSuperscripts represent significant difference (P < 0.05).

Abbreviations: CON, nonchallenge control; GEN, lipopolysaccharide-challenged group fed diet supplemented with 40 mg/kg genistein; LPS, lipopolysaccharide-challenged group; SD, standard deviation.
