^a,b,c Means with different superscripts within each row are significantly different (p < 0.05). ^A,B,C Means with different superscripts within each row are extremely significantly different (p < 0.01). ¹ BW, body weight; wks, weeks. Each value represents the mean of the four replicates in each group.
