  1. aCER cereal fraction of the diet, CER + ENZ cereal fraction of the diet supplemented with a carbohydrase enzyme (xylanase and β-glucanase, ENZ), BAL balancer fraction (non-cereal component) of the diet.
  2. bCalculated values.
  3. cVitamin and mineral premix provided per kilogram of complete diet (on an air dry basis): Cu from copper sulphate, 15 mg; Fe from ferrous sulphate monohydrate, 24 mg; Mn from manganese oxide, 31 mg; Zn from zinc oxide, 80 mg; I from potassium iodate, 0.3 mg; Se from sodium selenite, 0.2 mg; retinyl acetate 0.7 mg; cholecalciferol, 12.5 μg; DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, 40 mg; Vitamin K, 4 mg; vitamin B12, 15 μg; riboflavin, 2 mg; nicotinic acid, 12 mg; pantothenic acid, 10 mg; vitamin B1, 2 mg; vitamin B6, 3 mg; an0d celite, 300 mg.
  4. dCarbohydrase complex based on xylanase and β-glucanase (Rovabio Excel AP, Adisseo France SAS, Antony, France) providing a minimum guaranteed content of 2,200 VU and 3,000 VU, respectively, per kg of finished diet (on an air dry basis).
  5. eAnalysed values for dietary components (CER, CER + ENZ and BAL). For the experimental diets (basal and basal + ENZ) values given are calculated from the analysed dietary component values. Values with a “–” were not analysed and the calculated values given for the experimental diets are from the calculated values in the matrix formulation.
  6. fSID = Standardized ileal digestibility.
  7. gOne viscosity unit (VU) is defined as the amount of enzyme reducing the viscosity of the solution, to give a change in relative fluidity of 1 dimensionless unit per minute per g at pH 5.5 and 30 °C.
