BW, body weight; ADG, average daily gain; FCR, feed conversion ratio; DMI, dry matter intake; NDF, neutral detergent fiber; NDFI, neutral detergent fiber intake.

HFC-LEC, a high forage-to-concentrate ratio (0.35) with a low-energy concentrate mix; HFC-HEC, a high forage-to-concentrate ratio (0.35) with a high-energy concentrate mix; LFC-HEC, a low forage-to-concentrate ratio (0.25) with a high-energy concentrate mix.

Means that do not have common superscripts significantly differ within the treatments (P < 0.05).
