HFC-LEC, a high forage-to-concentrate ratio (0.35) with a low-energy concentrate mix; HFC-HEC: a high forage-to-concentrate ratio (0.35) with a high-energy concentrate mix; LFC-HEC, a low forage-to-concentrate ratio (0.25) with a high-energy concentrate mix.

DMI, dry matter intake; FDMI, forage dry matter intake; NDFI, neutral detergent fiber intake; fNDFI, forage neutral detergent fiber intake.

Means within the same row with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05).
