| SAN | CON | ||||
| CDG (kg/d) | 0.89 | 0.90 | 0.90 | 0.04 | 0.868 |
| CDG/ADG (%) | 73.2a | 68.2b | 70.7 | 1.14 | 0.045 |
| CG:F (DMI/carcass, kg) | 8.1b | 8.7a | 8.37 | 0.26 | 0.046 |
SEM, standard error mean; ADG, average daily gain.
Averages followed by different superscript letters (a,b) in the same row, are significant different by Tukey test (p≤0.05).
