There was no animal mortality during the experimental period.
SEM, standard error of the mean.
1)
MT and MT+D diets have 1.9 mg/kg of deoxynivalenol supplemented from mycotoxin contaminated corn DDGS.
2)
CON, control diet formulated with corn DDGS with minimal mycotoxin contamination; MT, diet formulated with corn DDGS with supplemental 5 mg/kg of deoxynivalenol contamination; and MT+D, MT + MegaFix (ICC, São Paulo, Brazil) at 0.2%.
3)
Week 5 lasted 6 days to facilitate the sampling schedule.
