During the periods from 28 to 42, 43 to 56 and 57 to 70 d of age, the GR treatment had no effect on the daily weight gain compared to the GM treatment (P > 0.05), but the GR treatment resulted in higher (P < 0.05) dailyweight gain than those fed the GM diet from 28 to 70 days of age. The WR treatment resulted in the highest (P < 0.05) dailyweight gain throughout the trial period (during 28–70 days) compared to those fed GM and GR diets. Both the WR and GRtreatments lowed (P < 0.05) the FCR throughout the trial period compared to the GM treatment (during 28–70 days).
