The overall analysis is two-way repeated measures ANOVA. Bonferroni multiple correction was used for the comparison among treatments and periods, the letter “a” indicates the comparison with the barn feeding (BF) group at the same time point (P < 0.05), and the letter “t” was used for comparison with day 0 of the same treatment (P < 0.05).
