Values are mean and pooled SEM, n = 6
Data in the same row with no or the same letter indicate no significant difference (P>0.05), while with different letters mean significant difference (P<0.05)
Abbreviations: BW, body weight; ADG, average daily gain; ADFI, average daily feed intake; F/G, feed to gain ratio
The P values indicate the effects of dietary steviol glycosides mixture supplementation with different levels by one-way ANOVA and linear and quadratic analyses, respectively
