All measurements were expressed as Mean ± SD (n = 6). ^a,bMeans with different letters in the same rows are different significantly (P < 0.05). Birds supplemented with basal diet (CON), supplemented with 20 mg bacitracin/kg (ANT), supplemented with 50 mg BLFs/kg (BLFL) or supplemented with 250 mg BLFs/kg (BLFH)
