1A total of 160 weaned pigs (initially 6.3 kg; Line 359 × Camborough; PIC, Hendersonville, TN) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments with five pigs per pen and eight replicate pens per treatment

2Provided the following quantities of vitamins and micro-minerals per kilogram of complete diet: vitamin A as retinyl acetate, 11,150 IU; vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol, 2,210 IU; vitamin E as selenium yeast, 66 IU; vitamin K as menadione nicotinamide bisulfate, 1.42 mg; thiamin as thiamine mononitrate, 1.10 mg; riboflavin, 6.59 mg; pyridoxine as pyridoxine hydrochloride, 1.00 mg; vitamin B12, 0.03 mg; d-pantothenic acid as D-calcium pantothenate, 23.6 mg; niacin, 44.1 mg; folic acid, 1.59 mg; biotin, 0.44 mg; Cu, 20 mg as copper chloride; Fe, 125 mg as iron sulfate; I, 1.26 mg as ethylenediamine dihydriodide; Mn, 60.2 mg as manganese hydroxychloride; Se, 0.30 mg as sodium selenite and selenium yeast; and Zn, 125.1 mg as zinc hydroxychloride.

3Multiple samples were collected from each diet, homogenized, and then subsampled for analysis at the University of Illinois (Urbana, IL).
