^aOffered in a paired choice as pellets during each experimental period.

^bLeast-squares means based on nine pen-observations of eight pigs each for each period. For all variables, effects of diet and interaction between diet combination and period were not observed (P > 0.05). For ADFI and ADG, an effect of period (P < 0.05) was observed. For G:F, a trend for effect of period (0.05 ≤ P < 0.10) was observed.
