CON group, basal diet and raised under normal temperature (24°C); HS group, basal diet and raised under cycle heat stress (34°C from 10:00–18:00 and 24°C for the rest time); HSC group, basal diet with 200 mg/kg COS supplementation and raised under cycle heat stress. Abbreviations: IL-1β, interleukin-1β; IL-10, interleukin-10; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α. Values are mean ± SE (n = 6). The values with different superscript letters are different (P < 0.05).
