¹ C: Control group, where piglets were kept with their own sows and allowed to suckle pig colostrum as normal. PC: Piglets were removed from the sows after birth and received porcine colostrum only for the first 12 h of life. GC: Piglets were removed from the sows after birth and received goat colostrum only for the first 12 h of life. The analysis was performed as a univariate analysis by General Linear Model and predictor variable was the treatment. ²: weight at 0 h corresponded to the initial birth weight. a, b: Means in the same row bearing the same letter are not significantly different (p > 0.05).
