Probability of the F test.
Each group were set to 70% (T1) and 72% (T2) during fattening phase and 74% (T3) and 76% (T4) for the finishing phase, respectively.
Means in the same row with different superscripts are significantly (p < 0.05) different.
SFA, saturated fatty acid; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acid; UFA, unsaturated fatty acid.
