In Table 1, the headings In-feed antibiotics and No in-feed antibiotics are swapped in the second and third columns. The second column should be No in-feed antibiotics and the third should be In-feed antibiotics. Please see the corrected Table 1 here.

Table 1. Average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio (mean ± standard error of the mean) for pigs provided with in-feed antibiotics (n = 420) and for pigs with no in-feed antibiotics (n = 420) during the first and the second weaner stages.
