In the first column, “*” mean EAA, “#” mean FSAA, “^” mean BAA, “#” add “^” mean DAA.

Data in the same line without letters or the same letter superscripts mean no significant difference (P > 0.05), different letter superscripts mean significant difference (P < 0.01 as highly significant, P < 0.05 as significant).
