Dietary treatments were supplemented with soy protein concentrate (X-Soy 200, CJ Selecta, MG, Brazil) at four levels replacing animal protein supplements including fish meal, poultry meal, and blood plasma (N = 32 total, n = 8 for each replacement level).

Phase 1, from day 0 to day 10.

Phase 2, from day 10 to day 22.

Phase 3, from day 22 to day 35.
