Note: 𝑛: number of birds in group. Superscripts a, b denote significant differences at 𝑃<0.05 between diets at the same age within the same sex. Superscripts A, B denote significant differences at 𝑃<0.01 between dietary groups at the same age within the same sex. Superscripts x, y denote significant differences at 𝑃<0.05 between different sexes of the same diet and age.
