Means within a row with different superscripts are different at P < 0.05. DDGS, distillers dried grains with solubles; FDE, fiber-degrading enzymes.

1Steeped (350 g of DDGS and 1.5 liters of water) for 24 h at 40 °C with 15 min of agitation every 40 min. Mixed with other feedstuffs prior to feeding.

2No enzymes.

3Supplied 5,500 U of xylanase and 1,050 U of β-glucanase per kg of DDGS.

4Supplied 1,200 U of xylanase, 150 U of β-glucanase, 500 U of cellulase, and 5,000 U of protease per kg of DDGS.

5Calculated by difference method (Adeola, 2001).
