  1. a,b,cValues in the same row with different superscripts were significantly different (P < 0.05)
  2. 1Values are means of 5 pens per treatment combination with 2 male broiler chickens per pen selected for blood collection
  3. 2NTM, no trace mineral supplementation; ITM, commercially recommended levels of inorganic trace mineral; CTM25, chelated trace mineral supplement (CTM) match to 25% of the ITM; CTM50, CTM match to 50% of the ITM; CTM100, CTM equivalent to ITM
