Values are expressed as means.
ME was calculated using the following equation: ME (kcal/kg) = (CP × 3.5) + (EE × 8.5) + (NFE × 3.5).
Different letters above the number indicate significant differences between means. If the same letters, such as a and ab or ab and b, are present, it indicates an insignificant difference. Additionally, if the ANOVA was not statistically significant, no letters were displayed in the table.
DM, dry matter; CP, crude protein; EE, ether extract; CA, crude ash; NFE, nitrogen-free extract; OM, organic matter; ME, metabolizable energy; ATTD, apparent total tract nutrient digestibility.
