^a–hMeans within a row lacking a common superscript letter differ (P < 0.05).

¹Data are means of three observations per diet or ingredient except for viscosity where four observations were used.

²SBM = soybean meal; CM = canola meal; DDGS = distillers dried grains with solubles; CGM = corn germ meal; CE = copra expellers; SBP = sugar beet pulp; SF = synthetic cellulose.
