Neither fish meal nor SBMC influenced any growth performance criteria (P > 0.13) from d 0 to 14. During the common period (d 14 to 24), pigs previously fed fish meal tended to have better F/G than pigs previously fed SBMC (P = 0.09). Overall (d 0 to 24), there were no differences in growth performance between treatments (P > 0.34).
In conclusion, SBMC and fish meal had similar effects on growth performance, but neither provided a benefit compared to the pigs fed the control diet.
