Data are means of eight animals.
Barrows fed the medium-lysine (0.80%) diet, gilts fed the medium-lysine diet, and gilts fed the low-lysine (0.60%) diet, respectively.
T, treatment; B-Med, barrow-medium; G-Med, gilt-medium; SFA, saturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
