^a,bWithin a row, means sharing different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05). Probiotic 0, 1, and 2 indicate inclusion of Protexin at the rate of 0, 1, and 2 g/kg of feed. MOS 0, 1, and 1.5 indicate inclusion of Active-MOS (mannan oligosaccharide) at the rate of 0, 1, and 1.5 g/kg of feed.

Abbreviation: Sig, significant.
