Diets are listed in order of increasing fiber and amylose content from left to right. DM, dry matter; All % values are relative to dry matter except Metabolizable Energy (kcal/kg).

a

Determined using a Nitrogen/Protein Analyzer (CN628, LECO Corporation, St. Joseph, MI, USA), with a conversion factor of 6.25.

b

Determined by Central Testing Laboratory Ltd. (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), following Crude Fiber Method by Ankom Technology (2017).

c

Determined by Central Testing Laboratory Ltd. (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), following AOCS Method Am 5-04.

d

Determined by Central Testing Laboratory Ltd. (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), following AOAC Method 942.05.

e

Determined using the ME equation for swine: (kcal/kg)=4151-(122*Ash) + (23*Crude Protein) + (38*Fat)-(64*Crude fiber)*[1.003-(0.0021* Crude Protein)].
