Vitamin and mineral premix supplied per kg of diets: 3,500 IU vitamin A; 250 IU vitamin D3; 25 mg vitamin E; 0.052 mg vitamin K; 2.8 mg vitamin B1(thiamine); 2.6 mg vitamin B2 (riboflavin); 2 mg vitamin B6 (pyridoxine); 0.014 mg vitamin B12; 6 mg Cal-d-pantothenate; 30 mg niacin; 0.4 mg folic acid; 0.036 mg biotin; 1,000 mg taurine; 44 mg FeSO4; 3.8 mg MnSO4; 50 mg ZnSO4; 7.5 mg CuSO4; 0.18 mg Na2SeO3; 0.9 mg Ca(IO3)2.
Chromium oxide was added into the diet fed 5 d before the end of the experiment.
Metabolizable energy (ME) was calculated follow equation; ME (kcal/kg) − ([CP × 3.5] + [EE × 8.5] + [NFE × 3.5]) × 10.
CON, rice-based diet; TRT, corn-RS-based diet; DM, dry matter; CP, crude protein; NFE, nitrogen-free extract; RS, resistant starch.
