¹A total of 4,320 pigs (Line 337 × 1050; PIC) were used in a 42-d study. Pigs were weaned at approximately 22 d. On entry into the nursery, pigs were randomly sorted into 1 of 160 pens (80 pens of barrows, 80 pens of gilts), with one pen of gilts and one pen of barrows per fence line feeder. A pair of pens (feeders) were blocked by weight and then randomly assigned to one of five dietary treatments that were fed for 35 d in a completely randomized block design. Then on day 35, half of the pens receiving either Product 1 or Product 2 remained on those treatments and the other half were switched to the control diet. These combinations resulted in a total of nine treatments. There were 16 replications (feeders) for all treatments from days 0 to 35 and 8 replications per treatment from days 35 to 42 for all treatments except for the control, which continued to have 16 replications per treatment.
