Fecal fat excretion and apparent digestibility of fat in the final 5 days.
| Control | LMW-BG | HMW-BG | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fat intake (mg/d) | 404 ± 1 a | 339 ± 1 b | 344 ± 1 b |
| Fecal fat excretion (mg/d) | 11 ± 1 a | 21 ± 3 ab | 39 ± 10 b |
| Apparent digestibility of fat (%) | 97.2 ± 0.2 a | 93.8 ± 0.7 ab | 88.2 ± 3.2 b |
Values are means ± SE, n = 8. Means with suffixed superscript letters differ significantly (Tukey–Kramer’s test, p < 0.05). LMW-BG; low molecular weight β-glucan, HMW-BG; high molecular weight β-glucan.
