1

A corn soybean meal basal diet top-dressed with a corn-soybean meal mixture containing 15% crude protein (CP; 12.0 g/d during gestation and 15.0 g/d during lactation). This supplement was given to match the amount of crude protein from the SCFP supplement.

2

Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (Diamond V Original XPC, Diamond V, Cedar Rapids, IA) was top-dressed at 12.0 g/d during gestation and 15.0 g/d during lactation.

3

During 6 phase feeding program from nursery to slaughter, corn and soybean based diets were given to pigs. Nursery diets with SCFP (phase 1 to 3) contained 0.2% Diamond V Original XPC by replacing corn in basal diets. Grower-finisher diets with SCFP (phase 4 to 6) contained 0.1% Original XPC also by replacing corn in basal.

4

Standard error of means.

5

Effect from SCFP during gestation and lactation period.

6

Effect from SCFP during nursery, grower and finishing period.
