No differences in average daily gain were detected
among treatments (Table 1). However, ADFI and feed
conversion (G:F) differences were evident among dietary
fat levels. These results disagree with the results
of Asghar et al. (1991b), who observed improved average
daily gain and feed efficiency when pigs received
diets supplemented with 100 and 200 IU of VE/kg of
feed during the early growth period (0 to 4 wk, initial
weight 29 kg). Others, however, reported no differences
in performance characteristics of pigs supplemented
with VE over the weight range used in this study
