a–cWithin a row, means with differing superscripts differ (P < 0.05). The linear model used included block (BW), treatment, and block × treatment to evaluate the difference among five treatments, P value is not shown.
1Control diet contains 6.0% soybean oil; encapsulated palm oil (granular, containing 80% palm oil), encapsulated coconut oil (granular, containing 80% coconut oil).
2SEM is for treatment within the same row.
3Palm oil vs. coconut oil.
