Table 1. Estimated chemical composition (%, dry matter basis or as stated) of experimental feeds used for in vivo

Item Composition
Concentrate Forage
DM (%, as fed basis) 89.8 87.8
CP (%) 17.5 6.00
NDF (%) 37.1 61.1
ADF (%) 17.8 40.0
Lignin (%) 3.76 5.59
EE (%) 4.07 1.85
Ash (%) 9.25 6.85
Ca (%) 1.28 0.16
P (%) 0.76 0.19
NFC (%) 32.08 24.2
TDN1)(%) 68.2 57.3
The value of TDN was calculated by the methods suggested from NASEM (2016).
DM, dry matter; CP, crude protein; NDF, neutral detergent fiber analyzed with heat stable α-amylase; ADF, acid detergent fiber; EE, ether extract; NFC, non-fibrous carbohydrate; TDN, total digestible nutrients.
