| Indicators | C1 | C2 | C3 | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CP | 73.05 ± 0.008 b | 76.82 ± 0.009 a | 77.72 ± 0.005 a | 0.002 |
| EE | 35.40 ± 0.019 b | 50.41 ± 0.019 a | 46.63 ± 0.026 a | 0.002 |
| CF | 63.77 ± 0.539 | 63.07 ± 0.555 | 64.00 ± 0.947 | 0.637 |
| NDF | 67.09 ± 0.827 | 66.33 ± 0.858 | 67.83 ± 0.675 | 0.434 |
| ADF | 59.03 ± 0.490 | 58.58 ± 0.275 | 60.36 ± 0.712 | 0.081 |
Note: The data are the means of five replicates per treatment (n = 5). The values with different letter superscripts mean significant different (p < 0.05). CP = crude protein; EE = crude extract; CF = crude fiber; NDF = neutral detergent fiber; ADF = acid detergent fiber.
