^aADG, average daily gain; ADFI, average daily feed intake; AR, artificially reared pigs; BW, body weight; G:F, gain to feed; PND, postnatal day; PNW, postnatal week; SEM, standard error of the mean; SR, sow-reared pigs.

^bP-values derived from a repeated-measures mixed model ANOVA comparing pigs raised in different early-life rearing environments.
