¹A total of 90 pigs (PIC [Hendersonville, TN] 327 × 1050, initial BW 12.1 ± 0.25 kg) were used in a 7-d preference trial with five pigs per pen and six replications per comparison.

²Corn used in diets was ground using two sets of rolls, three sets of rolls, four sets of rolls in a fine-grind configuration, and four sets of rolls in a coarse configuration.

³Feeders were rotated once daily within each pen to eliminate any location effects of feeder.

⁴ADFI, % is a percentage of total feed intake for each treatment within a comparison.
