Piglet performance. Normally distributed data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA performing time, diet and the interaction between these two factors, followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests when appropriate (A) Piglet death proportion (% of the litter size) from PND3 to PND9 after force-fed gavage with DON (DONgav) compared to control (CTRL-) and maternal supplementation with DON (DON). # means difference at p = 0.06 between DONgav and the two other groups (CTRL- and DON). (B) Piglet body weight (kg) from birth to PND49. Time, diet and the interaction time x diet were highly significant (p < 0.0001). DONgav piglet body weights (empty grey circle) were lower than CTRL- (full black circle) and DON piglets (full black triangle) (* p < 0.0001). (C) Body weights of piglets CTRL- (full black circle) and PREB (empty black square) recorded from birth to PND49 were not different.
