¹ A total 15 weaning pigs was fed from average initial body 14.42 ± 0.45 kg
² PC: corn-SBM based diet + ZnO, SBP3: basal diet + SBP 3%, SBP6: basal diet + SBP 6%, SBP9: basal diet + SBP 9%, SBP12: basal diet + SBP 12%
³ Standard error of means
⁴ Probability values for the effects of SBP3, SBP6, SBP9, SBP12
⁵ N retention = N intake - Fecal N - Urinary N
^a,b,c Means with different superscripts within the same row significantly differ (P < 0.05)
