Mean values in the same row with different superscript differ significantly (P 0.05) apparent protein <strong>and</strong>lipid digestibility, which <strong>co</strong>uld be attributed to the absenceof a trypsin inhibitor <strong>and</strong> lectin, the presence of lower levelsof NSPs (NSPs in DJPI were 10 percent), <strong>and</strong> the addition ofphyt<strong>as</strong>e to mitigate the effects of phytate, if any (Kumar,Makkar <strong>and</strong> Becker, 2011d; Nepal et al., 2010). Energydigestibility of the DJPI protein-b<strong>as</strong>ed diets w<strong>as</strong> <strong>co</strong>nsiderablylower than protein digestibility (Kumar, Makkar <strong>and</strong>Becker, 2011d; Nepal et al., 2010).Dietary inclusion of DJPI did not (P >0.05) alter the intestinaldigestive enzyme (amyl<strong>as</strong>e, prote<strong>as</strong>e <strong>and</strong> lip<strong>as</strong>e) activities(Table 13). Phytate <strong>co</strong>ntent in DJPI w<strong>as</strong> 2.9 percent,<strong>and</strong> the DJPI-b<strong>as</strong>ed <strong>feed</strong>s were supplemented with 500 FTUphyt<strong>as</strong>e/kg. This level of phyt<strong>as</strong>e appears to be sufficient tohydrolyse the phytate in the DJPI-b<strong>as</strong>ed diets. No changein activities of digestive enzymes <strong>co</strong>uld be attributed tothe absence of trypsin inhibitors <strong>and</strong> lectins <strong>and</strong> additionof phyt<strong>as</strong>e (500 FTU phyt<strong>as</strong>e/kg) in the DJPI-b<strong>as</strong>ed diets(Kumar, Makkar <strong>and</strong> Becker, 2011d).Impacts on nutrients retentionsInclusion of DJPI in <strong>feed</strong> exhibited higher (P
