High nutrient density is 0.94%–0.98% higher than requirement in dietary protein and 50 kcal/kg in energy than basal nutrient density.
Means in the same row with difference superscripts differ at p < 0.05.
High, high nutrient density diet; Basal, basal nutrient density diet; Den, different nutrient density diet; Pro, supplementation of protease; CON, basal diet; PTA, CON + 0.0125% protease A; PTB, CON + 0.010% protease B; Den × Pro, different nutrient density diet × supplementation of protease; H2S, hydrogen sulfide; NH3, ammonia.
