SEM—standard error of the mean. a,b—values within a row with different superscripts differ significantly (p ≤ 0.05). GLU—glucose; TP—total protein; ALB—albumins; CHOL—cholesterol; HDL—high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL—low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG—triacylglycerols; ALP—alkaline phosphatase; ALT—alanine aminotransferase; AST—aspartate aminotransferase. Groups: C—control; FRA— group receiving a diet based on the control diet, with 8% fermented rapeseed meal (FRSMb) in place of some of the soybean meal (SBM); FR—group receiving a diet based on the control diet, with 8% FRSMb in place of some of the SBM, but without enzyme additives, pro- and prebiotic additives, organic acids, or added zinc.
