SEM, standard error of the mean; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase.
1)
Data are least squares means of 8 observations per treatment.
2)
IFE was included at replacing levels of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% with 5.0% FM in the basal diet.
3)
T, overall effects of treatments; L, linear effects of increasing replacement levels of IFE in diets; Q, quadratic effects of increasing replacement levels of IFE in diets.
