In the same row, values 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), n = 5. S0, blank control group, broilers were fed diet without BMFA supplementation; S1, S2, and S3, broilers were fed diet supplemented with 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6% of BMFA, respectively. ^aL, linear; Q, quadratic.
