1

Mean values from 10 piglets per treatment. 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.

2

Obtained using a zero-inflated Gaussian mixture model.

3

P-values corrected by false-discovery rate.
