1)

Cross-fostering was kept within the diet treatment in 3 d after birth, the data of LD 3 was recorded after Cross-fostering.

2)

Milk yield = Litter gain × 4.2.

a,b

Within a row, means without a common lowercase superscript differ (p < 0.05).

LD, lactation day; ADFI, average daily feed intake; ADG, average daily gain; WEI, weaning-to-estrus interval; BMI, body mass index of new born piglets.
