^a,b Values in a row with no common superscripts letter are significantly different (P<0.05).
¹ Data are least squares means of 4 observations per treatments.
² Basal = basal diet; PRO = basal diet + 1 g/kg probiotics; FRB = basal diet + 10 g/kg Lactobacillus-fermented rice bran; FBR = basal diet + 10 g/kg Lactobacillus-fermented broken rice.
³ Pooled standard error of the means.
