Values in the same row with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). SB, stem bark; LB, leaf blade; SP, stem pith; DMD, digestibility of dry matter; NDFD, digestibility of neutral detergent fiber; ADFD, digestibility of acid detergent fiber; NDSD, digestibility of neutral detergent solubles; HD, digestibility of hemicellulose; CD, digestibility of cellulose; SEM, standard error of the mean (n = 4).
