1With diets formulated at 13 MJ ME/kg. 2L and H diets contained 104 and 137 g of crude protein per kilogram, respectively. 3L and H diets contained 4.10 and 5.73 g of total phosphorus per kilogram, respectively. 4AA and mineral requirements were calculated using a factorial approach on the basis of simulated protein and mineral retention, in the same way as performed in InraPorc (Dourmad et al., 2008) or NRC (2012). This is also the case for the mineral and protein retention used for the determination of nutrient balance and excretion. Conversely, the data relative to the nutrient and feed supplies corresponds to the amounts that would have been supplied when applying the DSS in practice. 5Estimated feed costs based on average prices of feed ingredients observed in France over the first semester 2019 (IFIP, 2019).
