DFI - daily feed intake.

ADG - average daily gain over the assessed feeding period.

BW - body weight.

TBG - total body weight gain (Kg) during the assessed feeding period.

ABF - average of back fat thicknesses (mm) measured at three points between 6^th and 7^th ribs (6^th–7^th BF) and at the10th rib (10^th BF).

LMA - loin muscle area (cm²) measured between the 10^th and 11^th.

IMF - intramuscular fat, percentage IMF determined by the petroleum ether extraction method.

p-value as calculated by t-test.
