1Values are means ± SEM (n = 6), nonchallenged pigs (CON, fed with basal diet), diquat-challenged pigs (DT, fed with basal diet), and SeY-treated pigs (fed with basal diet containing 250 mg/kg SeY) challenged by sterile saline (SSY) or diquat (DSY). 2a,b,cMean values within a row with unlike superscript letters were significantly different (P < 0.05). 3ADFI = average daily feed intake; ADG = average daily gain; G/F = the ratio of gain to feed intake.
