¹Apparent metabolizable energy (kcal/kg) was analyzed using near infrared spectroscopy and was as follows: NC, 2985; PC, 2959; 0.30% LB, 2958; 0.90% LB, 2993; 1.50% LB, 2997. Standardized ileal digestible Lys (%) was calculated as follows: NC, 0.86; PC, 1.04; 0.30% LB, 1.05; 0.90% LB, 1.42; 1.50% LB, 1.79.
