Data on growth performance are shown in Table 3
he ADG was 34.6 g/d (86%) and 33.1 g/d (82%) greate
n SDPP andXT groups comparedwithCT group during
he first week PW, respectively. Moreover, ADFI wa
lso 53.6 g/d (39%) and 71.2 g/d (21%) greater in XT
roup than CT group during the first and second week
W, respectively. Animals fed SDPP had a greater G:F
