Effects of GOS/inulin supplementation during pregnancy on gestational outcomes.

	Food intake (g/w)	Mating efficiency (%)	Maternal weight (g)	Fetus weight (mg)	Litter size	Number of resorption
Control	18.7 ± 0.1	24 ± 6	32.6 ± 0.8	780 ± 17	7.2 ± 0.8	1 ± 0.2
Prebiotics	18.5 ± 0.2	30 ± 6	35.3 ± 0.9	758 ± 21	7.7 ± 0.5	1.6 ± 0.3

Assessment of food intake per week, mating efficiency percentage, maternal weight and fetal weight at 18 days of gestation, litter size and the number of fetuses resorbed for the control diet and GOS/inulin diet groups (mean ± standard deviation).
