B = Barrows; G = Gilts.

^a,b,A,B Means within rows with different superscripts differ (P < 0.05).

Control, diet contained without oil supplementation; diets 2 and 3 consisted of the control diet supplemented with 3% oil, which contained a mixture of coconut and canola oil to UFA:SFA ratios of 2.5:1 and 5:1, respectively.

T = effect of treatment diet; S = effect of the gender of the pigs. *(P < 0.05).
