Values in the same column and within the same subheading not sharing the same superscript letter are significantly different (P ≤ 0.05).

Level 1 = 150 g/kg SBM, 100 g/kg RSM, 150 g/kg SFM; level 2 = 300 g/kg SBM, 200 g/kg RSM, 300 g/kg SFM.

− = without added phytase; + = added phytase.

Abbreviations: Phy, phytase; RSM, rapeseed meal; SBM, soybean meal; SFM, sunflower meal.
