ADG (kg/d)	0.50^b	0.57^b	0.76^a	0.81^a	0.03	<0.001
G:F³	0.093^b	0.108^b	0.133^a	0.142^a	0.0045	<0.001

BW, body weight; DMI, dry matter intake; ADG, average daily gain.

Treatments are including: A, F:C = 70:30; B, F:C = 60:40; C, F:C = 50:50; D, F:C = 40:60.

SEM, standard error of the mean between the four groups.

Gain:feed, calculated as total BW gain divided by total feed intake (DM basis).

^a,b

Means with uncommon superscripts differ (p<0.05).
