A total of 239 pigs (6.56 ± 0.87 kg initial BW) in 48 pens (3 barrows and 3 gilts/pen; n = 10 pens/treatment) were used in a 35-d study. Experimental diets were fed from d 0 to 7 (Phase I) and d 8 to 21 (Phase II) after weaning. All pigs received a common Phase III diet from d 22 to 35. CON = control; a corn, soybean meal, whey (25%), FM (7.5%), and SDP (6.5%)–based diet with decreasing inclusion of whey (10%), FM (5%), and SDP (3%) from Phase I to Phase II, respectively. BPSFM+SDP = the CON with BPSBM replacing FM (7.5 and 5% in Phase I and Phase II, respectively). BPSBM+FM = the CON with BPSBM replacing SDP (12 and 8% in Phase I and Phase II, respectively). BPSBM = the CON with BPSBM replacing both FM and SDP (20 and 15% in Phase I and Phase II, respectively).
