¹A total of 2,268 pigs (Line 337 × 1050; PIC) were used in a 35-d study. Pigs were weaned at approximately 22 d. On entry into the nursery, pigs were randomly sorted into 1 of 84 pens (42 pens of barrows, 42 pens of gilts), with one pen of gilts and one pen of barrows per fence line feeder. Pigs were blocked by BW and then randomly assigned to one of two dietary treatments in a completely randomized block design with 21 feeders per treatment. Experimental diets were fed from days 0 to 28 and a common diet was then fed from days 28 to 35.
