Value show means ± SE (n = 4); Significance was evaluated by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple range tests. FM, control diet; GL, containing 2% 11S diet, GH, containing 8% 11S diet, GH-SB, containing 8% 11S and 0.13% SB diet. IBW, initial body weight; FBW, final body weight; WGR, weight gain rate; SGR, specific growth rate; SR, survival rate; FCR, feed coefficient ratio. a, b, cMean values among all treatments with different letters were significantly different when the interaction was significant (P < 0.05).
