¹Phase 3 diets fed from day 38 to 70, phase 4 diets fed from day 70 to 97, and phase 5 diets fed from day 97 to 120. All diets were fed in meal form.

²Standardized ileal digestible; SID Lys values (NRC, 2012) are expressed as the percentage of estimated SID Lys requirement for these pigs in this environment and production phase.

³Provided per kilogram of premix: 7,054,720 IU vitamin A; 1,102,300 IU vitamin D3; 35,274 IU vitamin E; 3,527 mg vitamin K; 6,173 mg riboflavin; 22,046 mg pantothenic acid; 39,683 mg niacin; and 26 mg vitamin B12.

⁴Provided per kilogram of premix: 17 g Mn from manganese oxide, 110 g Fe from ferrous sulfate, 110 g Zn from zinc oxide, 17 g Cu from copper sulfate, 331 mg I from ethylenediamine dihydroiodide, and 300 mg Se from sodium selenite.

⁵Biolys (Evonik, Inc., Kennesaw, GA).

⁶Optiphos 2000 (Huvepharma, Inc., Peachtree City, GA) provided 200 phytase units (FTU)/kg, with a release of 0.05% available P.

⁷Paylean 9 (Elanco Animal Health, Inc.) provided 5 mg/kg ractopamine HCl.

⁸Tribasic copper chloride (Intellibond C; Micronutrients, Inc.) provided 150 mg/kg Cu and was added at the expense of corn.
