  1. 1Average initial weight, 7.0 kg, 28 d trial, 6 pigs/trt, ADFI on a DM basis [58].
  2. 2Enzyme preparations provided 250 units xylanase, 150 units glucanase, 0.001% amalyase, 0.0003% protease, 0.002% invertase, and 400 units phytase per kilogram of diet and differed in the type of plant cell wall degrading activities. Enzyme A contained cellulase, galactanase, and mannanase; Enzyme B contained cellulase and pectinase; and Enzyme C contained cellulase, galactanase, mannanase, and pectinase.
  3. abcMeans within a row with different superscripts differ at the P-value shown.
