  1. DM, dry matter; NFE, nitrogen free extract; TDF, total dietary fibre; ME, metabolisable energy; Vit E, vitamin E; Se, selenium; BHA, butylated hydroxyanisole; BHT, butylated hydroxytoluene.
  2. Ingredient list: MFn-3 diet: chicken, corn, rice, corn gluten, lard, beetpulp, herring meal, dried whole eggs, brewer’s yeast, salmon oil, minerals, fructo-oligosaccharides, grape seed extract. HFn-6 diet: chicken, corn, rice, corn gluten, lard, chicken lard, beet pulp, herring meal, dried whole eggs, brewer’s yeast, minerals, fructo-oligosaccharides.
  3. 1Calculated by subtracting crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre and crude ash from the dry matter content.
  4. 2Estimated by a 4-step calculation [13].
