  1. aDiets were formulated to meet or exceed NRC (2012) recommendations. Phase 1 diets were fed from day 0 to 14 and Phase 2 diets were fed from day 14 to day 35. Experimental diets were created from a common basal mix to which the appropriate oil source was added, and by replacing corn in the control diet with vitamin E (Rovimix®, DSM Nutritional Products, Parsippany, NJ) to supply 200 IU/kg of DL-α-tocopheryl acetate, or 400 mg/kg of a blend of plant-based polyphenols (Promote® AOXt™ 50, Cargill, Inc., Wayzata, MN)
  2. b Control or peroxidized soybean oil. Peroxidation was created by heating control oil at 80 °C while bubbling air through oil at the rate of 50 L/min for 12 d. Control and peroxidized soybean oil were stabilized with 0.1% liquid antioxidant containing tertiary butyl hydroquinone after peroxidation was completed. Analyzed dietary crude fat concentrations were 7.74% and 6.96% for Phase 1 and 5.34% and 4.01% for Phase 2 for control and peroxidized oil treatments, respectively
  3. cSupplied per kg of complete diet: 33 mg of Mn, 110 mg of Zn, 110 mg of Fe, 17 mg of Cu, 0.30 mg of I and 0.30 mg of Se
  4. dSupplied per kg of complete diet: 8,270 IU of vitamin A, 1,650 IU of vitamin D3, 33 IU of vitamin E, 0.04 mg of vitamin B12 as D-calcium pantothenate, 3.3 mg of vitamin K as menadione sodium bisulfite complex, 7.7 mg of riboflavin, 25.0 mg of d-pantothenic acid, 44.1 mg of niacin, 0.11 mg of biotin
