Abbreviation: SEM, standard error of means.

^a-g

Within a column LSmeans with different superscripts differs, P < 0.05.

MES: multienzyme supplement supplied main activity of xylanase and β-glucanase and other minor activities including invertase, protease, cellulase, amylase and mannanase. The targeted activity level of xylanase and β-glucanase were 800 and160, U/kg of feed, respectively.

CPCR: crude protein conversion ratio.

CCR: calories conversion ratio.
