¹SCFAs, short-chain fatty acids.

²Treatments consisted of (1) CON; basal diet, (2) LBPs; basal diet + 4,000 mg/kg LBPs and (3) ABO; basal diet + 20 mg/kg flavomycin + 50 mg/kg quinocetone.

³SEM, pooled standard error of mean (n = 8).

^a,bMeans within each row with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05).
