  3. 3OM: Basal diet + organic minerals supplementation
  4. 4HOM: Basal diet + higher organic minerals supplementation
  5. 5Standard error of the mean
  6. 6P value received from the mixed procedure of SAS with temperature effect (B), mineral effect (M), and interaction effect between temperature and minerals (T × M). A P value less than 0.05 indicates that the results are statistically significant
