^aPhase 3 diet was fed from d 36 to 53 in pelleted form.

^bLL= Liquid lactose (SweetLac63; Westway Feed Products, Tomball, TX).

^cDiets were formulated with consideration of increased moisture content provided by LL and molasses. Concentration of diet components were initially decreased to allow for moisture loss during the pellet cooling process. Item (%) represents the percentage of each ingredient that was added to the mixer.

^dVTM = vitamin and trace mineral premix, which provide per ton of premix: 8,000,000 IU vitamin A, 1,500,000 IU vitamin D, 40,000 IU vitamin E, 1,000 mg vitamin K, 30 mg B12, 30,000 mg Niacin, 20,000 mg pantothenic acid, 5,000 mg riboflavin, 200 mg biotin, 1,000 mg folic acid, 2,000 mg pyridoxine, 125 ppm Zn, 125 ppm Fe, 22 ppm Mn, 15 ppm Cu, 0.60 ppm I, 0.30 ppm Se. Vitamin concentrations are expressed on a per lb of product basis; whereas mineral concentrations are expressed on a total percentage of premix basis.

^eRONOZYME HiPhos 2,700 provided 443 phytase units (FYT)/kg with a release of 0.11, 0.10, and 0.09% of available P, respectively, for each phase.

^fThe calculated nutrient composition is estimated on the diets after pelleting with 90% DM.
