^a-bMeans with different superscripts in the same column differ significantly (P < 0.05).

¹Each value represents the mean values of 6 pens of 10 animals each (n = 6).

²Abbreviations: AFB₁, aflatoxin B₁; BWG, body weight gain; FI, feed intake; FCR, feed conversion ratio.

³− represents without AFB1 or XL supplementation; + represents supplemented with AFB₁ or XL.

⁴SEM, standard error of the mean.

⁵P-values represent the main effect of AFB1 exposure, the main effect of the dietary XL, and the interaction between AFB₁ exposure and XL treatments.
