¹SP03− = supplementation of 0.3% of BW without CSFA fortification; SP03+ = supplementation of 0.3% of BW with CSFA fortification; SP1− = supplementation of 1.0% of BW without CSFA fortification; SP1+ = supplementation of 1.0% of BW with CSFA fortification.

²Throughout the experimental, data were collected through an electronic data capture system (Intergado; Contagem, Minas Gerais, Brazil).
