During days 0 to 7 postweaning, ADG, ADFI and feed:gain were greater (P < 0.05) in pigs fed UCG and NPG compared with those fed the control (Table 2). During the overall experiment, pigs fed the UCG and the NPG had greater (P < 0.05) ADG than pigs fed the control, and pigs fed the UCG had greater (P < 0.05) ADFI than pigs fed the control. No significant (P > 0.1) differences were observed in growth performance between pigs fed the UCG and NPG during days 0 to 7 and days 0 to 36 postweaning. Pigs fed no gel were 1.3 and 1.1 kg lighter (P < 0.05) than pigs fed UCG and NPG, respectively at day 36 postweaning.
