  1. Data was expressed as mean ± SE obtained from 6 individual pigs each. Mann–Whitney U-tests were used to evaluate the difference in different groups. The group control, treat 1, treat 2, and treat 3 signify that feed is supplemented with 0, 5%, 10%, or 15% fermented Mao-tai lees, respectively. Significant difference is indicated by different letters
