The experimental diets were formulated to contain 22, 21, and 20 % CP for the starting period, 20, 19, and 18% CP for the growing period, and 18, 17, and 16% CP for the finishing period in CON, CP-1%, and CP-2%, respectively. The CP-1% and CP-2% groups were supplemented with threonine, valine, and tryptophan to meet or exceed the respective levels of the control diet.

^aRepresentative sample were analyzed in triplicate by NIR technology, MPA, BRUKER (Hitachi, Inc., Tokyo, Japan)
