a–eMeans within a column lacking a common superscript letter are different (P < 0.05).

1Data are least squares means of 7 or 8 observations per treatment.

2Values for standardized ileal digestibility were calculated by correcting AID values for basal endogenous losses. Basal endogenous losses were determine using pigs fed the N-free diet as (g/kg DM intake): CP, 10.10; Arg, 0.32; His, 0.11 Ile, 0.18; Leu, 0.32; Lys, 0.24; Met, 0.05; Phe, 0.20; Thr, 0.39; Trp, 0.09; Val 0.33; Ala, 0.38; Asp, 0.47; Cys, 0.12; Glu, 0.58; Gly, 0.98; Pro, 2.60; and Ser, 0.34.
