Least squares means for total protein and time interaction over a 32 h transportation period (p < 0.01; Pooled SE = 0.07). Treatments: not weaned, not transported (CON; n = 24); weaned, not transported, provided feed and water (WEAN+; n = 24); weaned, not transported, and not provided feed and water (WEAN−; n = 24); weaned and transported, provided feed and water (TRANS+; n = 24); and weaned and transported, not provided feed and water (TRANS−; n = 24).
