  1. M maize, B broad bean, L white lupine, MB maize + broad bean (17.5:1), ML maize + white lupine (3.33:1)
  2. Average values (n = 3; ± SE) of the contents of organic substances CF (crude fibre), ADF (acid detergent fibre), NDF (neutral detergent fibre), ADL (acid detergent lignin) are displayed in the individual types of digestate
  3. Values of the contents of organic substances are converted to dry matter
  4. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) in the ANOVA posthoc Duncan’s multiple range test between individual variants in the content of selected parameter
