Control, low dose, moderate dose and high dose represent Hortobágy geese supplemented with 0 g, 3 g, 5 g, and 7 g Acremonium terricola culture per kg of the basal diet, respectively.
The average n values for ♂ (males), ♀ (females), and ♂ + ♀ (both sexes) were 12, 12, and 24, respectively.
Means within a row with different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05).
