  1. FRN group represents the Nitrate (12 mmol/L) added group, FRM group represents the Medicago sativa L. (25%) added group, FRH group represents the Helianthus tuberosus L. (3%) added group, and FR represents the control group (housed basal diet). DM represents dry matter, CP represents crude protein, NDF represents neutral detergent fiber, ADF represents acid detergent fiber, and Ash represents crude ash. SEM represents the standard error of the mean. Data in the same row without letters or with the same letters indicate that the differences are not significant, and different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05), similarly for the following
