MP = milk protein; SP = soybean protein concentrate; WP = hydrolyzed wheat protein; PP = peanut protein concentrate; RP = rice protein insolate; SEM = standard error of mean; F:G = feed:gain ratio.

^a,b Within a same row, mean with the same or no superscripts differ not significantly (P > 0.05), means with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05), n = 10.
