CDFM (United Animal Health, Sheridan, IN), digestibility coefficients within the jejunum, n = 6 to 8 representative pigs per treatment at both days 21 and 42, and n = 3 to 4 for Trp day 21 due to lack of sufficient sample collection.

a,bValues in a common row lacking a common superscript differ (P ≤ 0.05).

x,yValues in a common row lacking a common superscript tend to differ (P ≤ 0.10).
