| MMHAC | 2.611 | 77.15 | 577 | 28.66 | 2.16 | 0.37AB |
| MMHAC + Org Se + ETX | 2.586 | 76.79 | 563 | 28.36 | 2.15 | 0.41A |

A,BDifferent superscript in each column differ significantly (P < 0.05). n = 24 birds/treatment.
• CON-ITM with sulfate of zinc (110 ppm), copper (6 ppm), and manganese (120 ppm) with inorganic selenium (0.3 ppm).
• MMHAC with MMHAC sources of zinc (50 ppm), copper (10 ppm), manganese (60 ppm) with inorganic selenium (0.3 ppm).
• MMHAC + Org Se + ETX with MMHAC sources of zinc (50 ppm), copper (10 ppm), manganese (60 ppm) with organic selenium (ZORIEN® SeY, Novus International, Inc., added at 0.3 ppm) and AO at 125 ppm of final concentration. Bold numbers means P < 0.05.
