¹CON = fed basal diet followed by saline injection; RES = fed basal diet with 400 mg/kg of resveratrol followed by saline injection; LPS = fed basal diet followed by lipopolysaccharide injection; L-RES = fed basal diet with 400 mg/kg of resveratrol followed by lipopolysaccharide injection; ADG = average daily gain; ADFI = average daily feed intake; F/G = feed-to-gain ratio.

^a,b,cIn the same row, different lowercase letters represent significant differences (P < 0.05). Values are the mean and standard error of the mean, with the mean being the result of 6 replications of each treatment (n = 6).
