Each mean represents values from 5 replicates (12 birds/replicate).
Control (T1), basal diet), basal diet supplemented with 50 (T2)), 100 (T3)), 150 (T4)), 200 (T5)) ppb T2-toxin for feeding trial.
Means in the same row with different superscripts differ (p < 0.05).
SEM, standard error mean; SGPT, serum glutamic pyruvic transferase; SGOT, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transferase; H/L ratio, heterophil/lymphocyte ratio.
