Each value is the mean of 5 replicates (5 birds/treatment).
Different letters within same row differ significantly (p < 0.01).
Different letters within same column differ significantly (p < 0.01).
SEM, standard error of the mean; CON, control diet; 50 BSFLO, 50% black soldier fly larvae oil diet; 100 BSFLO, 100% black soldier fly larvae oil diet.
