Values are means ± standard error
Mean values with different subscript letters (a-c) at the same row significantly differ at (P ≤ 0.05). G1 = group fed control diet without supplement; G2 = group fed control diet with aflatoxin; G3 = group fed control diet with aflatoxin and saccharomyces cell wall; G4 = group fed control diet with Nano curcumin; G5 = group fed control diet with saccharomyces cell wall and Nano curcumin
