Means ± standard deviation with different lower case letters in the same column are significantly different at p < 0.05. not detected or levels below 0.17 %DM. S Two-way ANOVA confirmed significant effect (p < 0.05) of substrate (DF/PR) on this variable. T Two-way ANOVA confirmed significant effect (p < 0.05) of fermentation time (0–6 h) on this variable
