PL0, PL2.5, PL5, PL10: commercial feed supplemented with peptidoglycan at 0, 2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg. IBW: initial body weight, FBW: final body weight, DWG: daily weight gain, SGR: specific growth rate, WG: weight gain. The data was represented by mean ± SD. Values with the different letters denote the significant difference (p < 0.05).
