  1. The Tukey’s test was performed to detect differences between the study periods
  2. FCR feed conversion ratio; ADG average daily gain; ADFI average daily feed intake; IQ isoquinoline alkaloid supplementation period; CON without isoquinoline alkaloids supplementation period. Nutritional cluster 2 (N 2) and 4 (N 4) were not identified during the isoquinoline alkaloids supplementation period and the period without isoquinoline alkaloids supplementation, respectively
