Means within the same row carrying different superscripts are significantly different at (p < 0.05).

SEM, standard error of the mean; FFB 5%, basal diet substituted with 5% FFB; FFB 15%, basal diet substituted with 15% FFB; FFB 25%, basal diet substituted with 25% FFB; FFB 35%, basal diet substituted with 35% FFB.
