^a-d Within a column, means with no common superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05).

Means are based on 6 replicates per treatment with 4 birds per replicate on d 16 and 3 birds per replicate on d 21.

Control = no enzyme; XYN10 = xylanase from family 10; XYN11 = xylanase from family 11; MAN = β-mannanase.

SEM = standard error of the mean.
