T1: Uninfected; T2: Infected; T3: Infected+0.5 kg/ton; T4: Infected+1 kg/ton; T5: Infected+2 kg/ton; T6: Infected+DPEP; T7: Infected+Oxy 0.4 kg/ton
FCR: Feed conversion ratio.
The experiment was conducted for 10 days.
Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences (P<0.05).
The analysis was performed in triplicates.
