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

2

Abbreviations: IgG, immunoglobulin G; IgM, immunoglobulin M; IgA, immunoglobulin A.

3

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

4

SEM, standard error of the mean.

5

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