Means and SEM of changes (delta 44–38) in antibody isotype titers of barren and enriched housed pigs before and after transport/relocation
| Barren | Enriched | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLH-IgM | 0.50 ± 0.11 | 0.76 ± 0.18 | ns |
| KLH-IgG | −0.32 ± 0.19 | 0.35 ± 0.11 | * |
| MBP-IgM | 0.26 ± 0.13 | 0.70 ± 0.15 | * |
| MBP-IgG | 0.46 ± 0.21 | 1.58 ± 0.31 | ** |
| PC-BSA-IgM | 0.48 ± 0.13 | 1.37 ± 0.24 | ** |
| PC-BSA-IgG | −1.45 ± 0.22 | −0.67 ± 0.18 | ** |
Effects of housing after transport/relocation (delta 44–38) are reported in the text; significances of housing are indicated: ** P < 0.01, * P < 0.05, and ns for non-significant.
