The broilers were fed: (1) a corn-soybean based diet (Control); (2) the based diet plus 10% C. vulgaris (CH); (3) diet 2 supplemented with 0.005% Rovabio® Excel AP; and (4) diet 2 supplemented with 0.01% of a pre-selected four-CAZyme mixture (CHM)

SEM - standard error of the mean; FA - fatty acids; DMA - dimethylacetal; SFA - saturated fatty acids; MUFA - monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA - polyunsaturated fatty acids
