Different superscript letters in a column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05): ^a,b,c,d,e,f small letters indicate a significant difference among all diets; ^A,B,C,D,E capital letters indicate a significant difference among diets consisting of coffee by-products (CB) containing different percentages of S. limacinum (S) and the control diet (C); ^A,B,C,D capital and bold letters indicate a significant difference among diets consisting of coffee by-products (CB) enriched with different percentages of I. galbana (I) and the control diet (C). Abbreviations of the experimental diet: 5S = 95% CB + 5% S; 10S = 90% CB + 10% S; 20S = 80% CB + 20% S; 25S = 75% CB + 25% S; 5I = 95% CB + 5% I; 10I = 90% CB + 10% I; 20I = 80% CB + 20% I; 25I = 75% CB + 25% I; C = 100% CB.
