The fibrolytic enzyme profiles in cecum, ventral colon, and dorsal colon of Dezhou donkeys.
| Items | Caecum | Ventral Colon | Dorsal Colon | SEM | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CMCase, U | 0.13 b | 0.10 b | 0.37 a | 0.066 | 0.02 |
| AVI, U | 0.14 b | 0.12 b | 0.23 a | 0.015 | <0.01 |
| XLY, U | 2.5 b | 2.0 b | 7.3 a | 0.570 | <0.01 |
| FAE, mU | 4.2 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 0.47 | 0.85 |
| AE, mU | 21.6 b | 20.2 b | 30.2 a | 1.72 | <0.01 |
a,b Values in the same row with different small letter superscripts represent significant difference (p < 0.05), while with no letter or the same letter superscripts represent no significant difference (p > 0.05). CMCase, carboxymethyl cellulase; AVI, avicelase; XLY, xylanase; FAE, ferulic acid esterase; AE, acetyl esterase; SEM, mean standard error.
