¹10CS, 10% of aNDF from corn silage; 20CS, 20% of aNDF from corn silage; SCB, 10CS + 10% of aNDF from sugarcane bagasse; SC, 10CS + 10% of aNDF from sugarcane; SH, 10CS + 10% of aNDF from soybean hulls; LOCH, 10CS + 10% of aNDF from low oil cottonseed hulls. aNDF, α-amylase-treated neutral detergent fiber.

²MPS was determined according to method adapted from Lammers et al (1996).

^a-cMeans within a row with different superscripts differ (P < 0.05).
