¹A total of 350 maternal line barrows (200 × 400 DNA, Columbus, NE; initially 6.5 kg body weight) with five pigs per pen and 10 replications per treatment were used in a 14-d growth trial.

²Source 1 (IPC 790) was from The Scoular Company (Minneapolis, MN); source 2 (Omega Special Select Menhaden) was from Omega Protein (Houston, TX); and source 3 (LT Prime Menhaden) was from Daybrook Fisheries, Inc. (New Orleans, LA). All fish meal sources were from the 2014 catch year.

³No evidence of significant main effects of source or level (P > 0.10).
