The following variables were obtained: AFI=DM intake
in 45 days÷45 days; ADG=gain (FBW−IBW) in 45 days÷
45 days; and F:G=DM intake in 45 days÷gain in 45 days.
The IBW and FBWwere obtained by weighing the animals before
and after the experimental period, respectively. All the animalswere
submitted to an 18-hour fast prior to eachweighing
