  1. Each mean represents 6 observations except soybean meal in control and soybean meal and DDGS with an enzyme addition (5 observations)
  2. SEM standard error of the means
  3. aThe enzyme complex was added at 1.0 %. The enzyme complex consisted of β-pentosanase, β-glucanase, α-amylase and protease (6000 EPU/g, 32,000, 17,600 and 142 EU/g, respectively)
