1Organ weight and small intestine length were determined on day 28. One male and two females in each pen were euthanized and estimated. Data are least squares means of 4 observations for all treatments.
2Fish meal was sourced from Vedde Herring Oil Factory (Egersund, Norway); SDPP 1 was sourced from APC Inc. (Ankeny, IA); and SDPP 2 was sourced from NongHyup Feed Inc., LTD. (Seoul, Korea).
