1All analyses were conducted in triplicate. Genistein was added to the basal diet at the expense of corn in the amount of 0, 400, and 800 mg per kilogram. After reconstitution of the basal diet, respective experimental diets contained 22.39, 392.82, and 792.72 mg of genistein per kilogram. 2Soybean meal contained the following: 48% protein, 0.75% fat, 5.3% ash, 5.8% fiber, 81.5 mg of genistein/kg, and 68.2 mg of daidzein/kg. 3Supplied per kilogram of diet: retinyl acetate, 12,000 IU; cholecalciferol, 2400 IU; dl-α-tocopheryl acetate, 30 mg; menadione sodium bisulfite, 2,5 mg; thiamine-hydrochloride, 3 mg; riboflavin, 7 mg; niacin, 40 mg; d-pantothenic acid, 8 mg; pyridoxine hydrochloride, 4 mg; vitamin B12, 0,015 mg; vitamin C, 50 mg; folic acid, 1 mg; D-biotin, 0,045 mg; choline chloride, 125 mg; Mn (MnSO4-H2O), 80 mg; Fe (FeSO4-7H2O), 30 mg; Zn (ZnO), 60 mg; Cu (CuSO4-5H2O), 5 mg; Co (CoCl2-6H2O), 0,1 mg; I as KI, 0,4 mg; Se (Na2SeO3), 0,15 mg.
