Apparent digestibility, %	Diet a		P value
	Control	Hemp
Dry matter (DMD)	65.3 (± 0.99)	65.6 (± 0.99)	0.865
Organic matter (OMD)	68.1 (± 0.87)	70.8 (± 0.87)	0.052
Crude protein (CPD)	66.4 (± 1.63)	67.3 (± 1.63)	0.689
NDF	42.4 (± 1.91)	27.5 (± 1.91)	<0.001
ADF	41.0 (± 2.21)	18.9 (± 2.21)	<0.001

^aValues are least squares means ± SEs of the least squares means.

NDF: neutral detergent fiber; ADF: acid detergent fiber.
