¹Linear regression lines (where is the growth parameters and is the fermented soybean meal components). ²SGR: specific growth rate; PER: protein efficiency ratio; PR: protein retention; TCA-soluble protein: ratio of the protein extracted by 15% trichloroacetic acid to the total crude protein. ³: test statistic (significant, ); ns: not significant.
