¹ C—control corn-soybean-based diet; C. butyricum—C group supplemented with 2.5 × 10⁹ cfu/kg Clostridium butyricum spores; Wheat bran—corn-soybean based diet supplemented with 60 g/kg wheat bran; SYN—C. butyricum and wheat bran supplemented group. ² q-value: the false discovery rate (FDR) is used to adjust p-value using Benjamini and Hochberg method. Statistically significant values are formatted in bold. ^a,b,c means that those in the same row with no common superscripts are significantly different.
