Values in the same row with no letter or the same letter superscripts mean no significant difference (p > 0.05), while with different letter superscripts mean significant difference (p < 0.05).T1: the broilers were fed a basal diet; T2: the broilers were fed a basal diet supplemented with AGE at 0.2%; T3: the broilers were fed a basal diet supplemented with AGE at 0.4%; T4: the broilers were fed a basal diet supplemented with AGE at 0.6%.SFA, saturated fatty acid; USFA, unsaturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; USFA: SFA, the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acid.
