  1. Data represent mean values of six ducks per treatment
  2. BW Body weight, ADG Average daily gain, ADFI Average daily feed intake, F/G Feed to gain ratio
  3. 1Dietary treatments were as follow: (1) control group (CON): basal diet; (2) DSS group (DSS): basal diet; (3) DSS + 70 mg Zn/kg from Zn-Gly; (4) DSS + 120 mg Zn/kg from Zn-Gly; and (5) DSS + 170 mg Zn/kg from Zn-Gly
  4. a–c The different lowercase letters indicate significant in variance analysis (P < 0.05)
