Effect of dietary carob pods on pig carcass weight, carcass dressing percentage, and subcutaneous fat of the 13th rib and the 6th to 7th lumbar vertebrae (Mean±SD)

	A	B	C	D
Carcass weight (kg)	66.90a±6.94	68.28b±9.41	69.43b±7.63	64.30a±9.35
Carcass dressing (%)	60.36±2.62	60.32±3.30	60.38±3.10	60.06±2.77
Subcutaneous fat of 13th rib (mm)	16.82±2.13	16.87±2.95	16.35±3.98	15.56±3.81
Subcutaneous fat of 6th to 7th lumbar vertebrae (mm)	23.75±4.80	23.38±4.65	20.53±4.37	27.81±4.52

Groups: A = 0 g carob pods/kg feed; B = 75 g carob pods/kg feed; C = 100 g carob pods/kg feed; D = 125 g carob pods/kg feed. Means in the same row with different superscript differ significantly (p<0.05).
