CD (control diet), pigs were fed a basal diet; ED (experiment diet), pigs were fed a basal diet + 4% lysine, isoleucine, methionine, threonine, valine and tryptophan during growing phase and supplemented with 0.1% chromium picolinate during finishing phase.
Means within a row with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05).
