Digestion and coagulation in vivo. (a) gastric content weight and (b) relative weight of the empty stomach (g/kg bodyweight) were measured at day 5 during necropsy, 1 h after the last bolus of EN, with (c) pH levels of the gastric content. (d,e) correlation between gastric content volume and pH levels for (d) preterm and (e) near-term piglets. n = 14 for preterm piglets, n = 8–9 for near-term piglets. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, ns = non-significant based on Mann–Whitney test between EH-WPC and MP-WPC. (f) Gastric content of 6 near-term piglets (n = 3 per diet) was separated based on particle size and weight of separate fractions (g) was recorded. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, ns = non-significant based on t-test between EH-WPC and MP-WPC.
