1 After standardisation. 2 Values are corrected for the number of piglets at standardisation and weaning age. T1: LoZEN from d109 gestation until d26 of lactation. T2: LoZEN from d109 gestation until farrowing and HiZEN from farrowing until d26 of lactation. T3: HiZEN from d109 gestation until d26 of lactation.
