1Data are means of eight observations per treatment.

2IDF = insoluble dietary fiber; SDF = soluble dietary fiber; TDF = total dietary fiber; NSP = nonstarch polysaccharides.

3SBM = soybean meal.

4Xylanases A and B were experimental xylanases supplied by Danisco Animal Nutrition-DuPont Industrial Biosciences (Marlborough, UK).

5DDGS = distillers dried grains with solubles.
