1Phase 1 diets were fed from days 0 to 13 (~5.8 to 7.3 kg BW). Phase 2 diets were fed from days 13 to 22 (~7.3 to 11.5 kg BW). Phase 3 was fed from days 22 to 41 (~11.5 to 22.8 kg BW).

2Dried distillers grains with solubles.

3Hamlet Protein, Findlay, OH.

4Quantum Blue 5G (AB Vista, Marlborough, UK) provided a release of 0.13% STTD P with 411 FTU/kg.

5O3 trial feed was added at 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% at the expense of corn from the experimental diets (NBO3 Technologies LLC, Manhattan, KS).
