Body weights of preterm and term pigs at the time of delivery and for preterm pigs at term equivalent age after nine days of enteral nutrition using milk replacer without (placebo) or with docosahexanoic acid (DHA) conjugated with phosphatidylserine (PS-DHA) and corresponding total brain and cerebellum weights at term equivalent age. Values are means and standard errors. Values in rows with different letter superscripts are different at p < 0.05. * is for the birth weight of pigs born at term.
