SD = standard deviation; ADG = average daily gain; ADFI = average daily feed intake; FCR = feed conversion ratio.

^{a, b}Means in the same row with different superscripts differ at P < 0.05.

¹Mean values for 10 replicate pens with 6 piglets per replicate pen. CTR, control diet; XYL, CTR supplemented with xylanase at 16,000 birch xylan units/kg; XYL + LY, XYL supplemented with live yeast (2 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g) at 1 kg/t.
