  1. #SR survival rate, RWG relative weight gain, PC avilamycin-positive control, CC challenge control, NC no additive supplementation and no challenge
  2. The results were reported as the mean ± SEM, astricts signify statistical significance in comparison to the control group (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005, ****p < 0.0001)
