Abstract This study aimed to determine the effects of optimal carbohydrases cocktails (OCC) screened using an in vitro method on nutrient and energy digestibility of corn-soybean meal-based diet (CSM), corn-soybean meal-corn distillers dried grains with soluble-based diet (CSMD), and corn-soybean meal-miscellaneous meal-based diet (CSMM) in growing pigs. One of 6 test diets (3 basal diets and 3 basal diets with corresponding OCC) was allotted to 3 of 18 ileal-cannulated barrows according to a triplicate 6 × 3 incomplete Latin Square design with 6 treatments and 3 periods. Ileal digesta and feces were collected to measure the coefficient of apparent digestibility of nutrients at distal ileum (CAID) and total tract (CATTD) of pigs. The OCC addition increased the CAID of dry matter (DM) and ash in CSM diet (P
