1Data are least-square mean of 14 observations for 22.5 and 15 each for 45, 90, and 180. Processing temperatures: 22.5 = fresh oil; 45 = oil heated for12 d at 45 °C with constant compressed air flow rate at 15 L/min; 90 = oil heated for 72 h at 90 °C with constant compressed air flow rate at 15 L/min; 180 = oil heated for 6 h at 180 °C with constant compressed air flow rate at 15 L/min. Performance data were collected over 21 d with an initial BW of 7.1 ± 0.9 kg (P = 0.54) and a final BW of 16.6 ± 1.8 kg (P = 0.10).

2Superscripts reflect peroxidized soybean oil treatment differences (ab, P < 0.05).

3ATTD, apparent total tract digestibility; AEE, acid hydrolyzed ether extract.
