  1. 1SM = manure of animals fed soybean meal as a source of rumen degradable protein (RDP), BSM = manure of animals fed by-pass soybean meal as a source of rumen undegradable protein (RUP), CGM = manure of animals fed corn gluten meal as a source of RUP; 2SEM = standard error of the mean. Chamber considered as an experimental unit (n = 9). The cumulative values refer to 112 days of feedlot.
