Factors: energy level (3,265 or 3,365 kcal of ME/kg) and lysine level (total lysine 0.55/0.70%, 0.65/0.85%, 0.75/1.00%, 0.85/1.15%) in gestation/lactation diet.
ME, metabolizable energy; Lys, lysine; SEM, standard error of the mean; E, energy effect; L, lysine effect; I, interaction between energy and lysine effect.
