1 All diets were composed of 40% alfalfa hay and 60% concentrate (fresh matter basis); 2 All diets contained calcium soap, calcium carbonate and mineral/vitamin premix in proportions of 1.0, 0.5 and 0.5%, respectively (fresh matter basis); 3 Chemical composition of diets was calculated from the analyzed composition of each feed ingredient.
