DDGS, distillers dried grains with solubles; FDE, fiber-degrading enzymes.

1Corn DDGS steeped (350 g of DDGS and 1.5 liters of water) for 24 h at 40 °C with 15 min of agitation every 40 min. Values represent freeze dried samples.

2Adapted from Rho et al. (2017b).

3No enzymes.

4Supplied 5,500 U of xylanase and 1,050 U of β-glucanase per kg of DDGS.

5Supplied 1,200 U of xylanase, 150 U of β-glucanase, 500 U of cellulase, and 5,000 U of protease per kg of DDGS.
