^a–cAverages (Avg) with different superscripts within the same column differ (P < 0.05).

¹DM = dry matter.

²Phytate P, calculated as 28.2% of phytate (Tran and Sauvant, 2004).

³Nonphytate P, calculated as the difference between total P and phytate P.

⁴ND, not detectable.

⁵SEM = pooled standard error of the mean.

⁶Not compared because mineral was not detectable in some ingredients.
