1 ADFI, average daily feed intake; 2 ADG, average daily gain; 3 FCR, feed conversion ratio; 4 BW, body weight. CON, piglets were orally administrated vehicle solution (0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) and challenged with sterile saline; DQ-CON, piglets were orally administrated vehicle solution and challenged with diquat (10 mg/kg body weight); DQ-PIC, piglets were orally administrated piceatannol (80 mg/kg/day) and challenged with diquat (10 mg/kg body weight). a, b, c Different letters on the shoulder mark indicate significant differences (p < 0.05). Data are presented as mean (n = 6).
