1Soy protein concentrate (SPC) manufactured by traditional process to remove soluble sugars and reduce anti-nutritional factors; ADM Foods & Wellness, Decatur, IL.

2Enzyme-treated soybean meal (ETSBM) manufactured for piglet feed with a low content of antinutritional factors (trypsin inhibitors, antigens, and flatulent oligosaccharides); Hamlet Protein, Findlay, OH.

3Novasoy 400 (ISF) has a guaranteed 40% minimum total isoflavone concentration (referred to as suppl. ISF in subsequent tables); ADM, Decatur, IL. Diets were formulated to contain ISF concentrations similar to those observed in typical weaning commercial diets containing SBM.
