¹ These data are expressed as the mean. Pooled SEM are shown, the same as below. ADG means average daily gain, ADI means average daily intake, FCR means feed conversion ratio. Comparisons between the control and treatment groups based on a t-test. A p value less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance, the same as below.
