a-bMeans with different superscripts in the same column differ significantly (P < 0.05).
Each value represents the mean values of 6 pens of 10 animals each (n = 6).
Abbreviations: IgG, immunoglobulin G; IgM, immunoglobulin M; IgA, immunoglobulin A.
− represents without AFB1 or XL supplementation; + represents supplemented with AFB1 or XL.
SEM, standard error of the mean.
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.
