a–c Means within the same column with different letters are statistically significant (P < 0.05).

The values are least square means of the 6 replicates in each treatment.

Control = basal diet, AFB = basal diet + 0.5 mg/kg aflatoxin B1, LE3 = basal diet + AFB1 + 3 g/kg licorice extract, LE6 = basal diet + AFB1 + 6 g/kg licorice extract, PRO = basal diet + AFB1 + 0.5 g/kg Protexin probiotic, TXB = basal diet + AFB1 + 1 g/kg toxin binder, and PLB = basal diet + AFB1 + 5 g/kg poultry litter biochar.

MDA = malondialdehyde, ALP = alkaline phosphatase, AST = aspartate aminotransferase, and ALT = alanine transaminase (glutamate-pyruvate transaminase).
