Average daily gain post-inoculation (kg, ADG; A) and triiodothyronine (nmol/L, T3; B) per pig in Play (PLY, solid line) and Control (CON, dashed line) treatments during periods 1 (DPI 0–8; days post-inoculation), 2 (DPI 8–13), 3 (DPI 13–17; n = 27■ in periods 1, 2, 3), and period 4 (DPI 17–21; n = 26•) for ADG, and on −1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 17, and 21 DPI for T3. Data are presented as predicted means and 95% confidence intervals. ‘X’ between two variables signifies an interaction effect. Significant differences between the treatments within DPI period or DPI are denoted on the graphs with an asterisk (*). The pairwise comparisons listed below have p-values less than or equal to the significant threshold (ST), adjusted using the Bonferroni correction to control the analysis-wise error. The type and number of comparisons are in italics and parentheses, respectively. (A) TreatmentXDPI—within treatment across consecutive DPI periods; baseline DPI period 1 vs. 4. ST (12): p = 0.004. PLY: DPI period 1 vs. 2, 2 vs. 3, 1 vs. 4. CON: DPI period 1 vs. 2, 1 vs. 4. +p = 0.027. ■Datapoints of the deceased PLY pig from all DPI periods, and •a datapoint of the CON outlier pig from DPI period 4 were excluded from this analysis. (B) TreatmentXDPI—within treatment across consecutive DPIs, baseline DPI-1 vs. 21. ST (22): p = 0.002. PLY and CON: DPI-1 vs. DPI2, DPI8 vs. 13, DPI17 vs. 21.
