  1. aAmino acid content is based on freeze-dried condition. The data are the average value of the three groups of Inner Mongolian cashmere goats
  2. bValues of AA are means of all samples including the three treatment groups
  3. cAAS Amino acid score, represents the ratio of amino acid content in the Longissimus dorsi muscle to the ideal protein model
