Table 3. The nutrient contents of experimental diets.
| Nutrient contents | Diets | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | Group I (5% WPCS) | Group II (10% WPCS) | Group III (15% WPCS) | |
| DE (MJ/kg) | 13.47 | 13.35 | 13.23 | 13.10 |
| CP (%) | 15.89 | 15.74 | 15.60 | 15.46 |
| CF (%) | 3.45 | 4.65 | 5.85 | 7.05 |
| Ca (%) | 0.50 | 0.62 | 0.74 | 0.85 |
| P (%) | 0.35 | 0.35 | 0.35 | 0.36 |
| NDF (%) | 11.80 | 12.83 | 13.87 | 14.91 |
| ADF (%) | 5.25 | 6.34 | 7.43 | 8.53 |
Note:
The values of nutrient contents were calculated based on dry matter. DE, digestive energy; CP, crude protein; CF, crude fibre; Ca, calcium; P, phosphorus; NDF, neutral detergent fibre; ADF, acid detergent fibre.
