CON = control diet (27% starch and 4% sugar on a DM basis); STA = a high-NFC diet in which dietary
starch content was increased by replacing beet pulp in the CON diet with corn grain (32% starch and 4% sugar
on a DM basis); SUC = a high-NFC diet in which dietary sugar content was increased by replacing beet pulp
in the CON diet with 5.5% of sucrose (27% starch and 9% sugar on a DM basis); LAC = a high-NFC diet in
which dietary sugar content was increased by replacing beet pulp in the CON diet with lactose (27% starch
and 9% sugar on a DM basis).

P-value: 1 = high-NFC diets (STA, SUC, and LAC) versus CON; 2 = high-disaccharide diets (SUC and LAC)
versus STA; 3 = SUC versus LAC.
