Effects of BSFL on the growth performance of swine.

References	Phase	Type	Level, %	Age	Performance
[117]	Weaning swine	FF	25, 50, 75, 100	14 weeks	Increases ADG, FBW, fasted weight and carcass weight. Reduces FCR.
[118]	Weaned piglets	FF	3.5	10–28 days	No difference in ADG, DMI and digestibility.
[77]	Weaned piglets	FF	25, 50	7–21 days	Increases body weight at day 7. Reduces ADFI and G: F at days 14–21.
[119]	Weaned piglets	DF	5, 10	1–61 days	No difference in ADG, ADFI, BW, WG and FCR.
[120]	Weaned piglets	FF	D 21-25, 75g/day, D 25-35, 150g/day	24–35 days	No difference in ADG, final body weight, feed efficiency and energy efficiency.
[121]	Fattening pig	FF	4, 8	Initial weight 76 kg, raised for 46 days.	Increased the abundance of lactobacillus, pseudo-butyric vibrio, Rosella, and faecalibacterium of the 4% group. Decreased the abundance of streptococcus. Increased the number of Clostridium cluster XIVa of the 8% group.

ADFI = average daily feed intake, ADG = average daily gain, BW = body weight, D = days, DMI = dry matter intake, FBW = final body weight, FCR = feed conversion ratio, G: F = gain: feed, WG = weight gain.
