Key: PF (Poultry feed), E1 (Enzyme one from RS1), E2 (Enzyme two from RS8), E3 (Enzyme three from RS10), and E4 (Enzyme four from RS15). SEM = Standard Error of the Mean; Sig. = Significance level; * = Significant at P ≤ 0.05
^{a, b, c, d}: Means in the same row with different superscripts are significantly different (P ≤ 0.05)
