Data were analyzed as a completely randomized design with treatments arranged factorially, using the GLM procedure (SAS Inst. Inc., Cary, NC). The model included sex, SW, and their interaction as main effects. The experimental unit for growth performance and carcass data was a pen with 10 pigs, whereas for pork quality measures and FA profile the experimental unit was based on the average of 5 chops or 5 fat samples obtained from 5 pigs sampled at random within each pen. Initial BW of the pigs was used as a covariate for growth performance data analysis. Means were computed
and separated by a t-test. An α level of
