Effect of feeding FDGL on nitrogen utilization in sheep^a

Items	Diet^b		SEM^c	P-value
Items	Control	FDGL	SEM^c	P-value
Nitrogen intake (g/(kg BW^0.75·d))	1.19	1.25	0.001	<0.0001
Fecal nitrogen (g/(kg BW^0.75·d))	0.34	0.32	0.006	0.027
Nitrogen absorption (g/(kg BW^0.75·d))	0.85	0.92	0.006	0.001
Urinary nitrogen (g/(kg BW^0.75·d))	0.44	0.44	0.021	0.068
Nitrogen retention (g/(kg BW^0.75·d))	0.40	0.48	0.027	0.009
Nitrogen digestibility (%)	71.26	74.06	0.485	0.004

^aValues represent means of six sheep

^bControl diet: mixed hay (orchardgrass and reed canarygrass) and concentrate (60:40); FDGL diet: Control diet plus FDGL

^cSEM, standard error of mean
