IBW: Initial body weight; ADFI: Average daily feed intake; ADG: Average daily body weight gain; F/G: Feed intake/ body weight ratio. Values in this table are presented as means ± SD. In the same row, values with no superscript letters denote significant differences at p > 0.05, while values with different superscript letters denote significant difference at p < 0.05.
