¹Pigs were artificially reared from postnatal days 2–28, dosed with DSS on postnatal days 14–18, and euthanized on postnatal days 27 or 28 to permit sample collection.

^a,bMeans lacking a common superscript letter within a row differ (P < 0.05).

Abbreviations: ADG, average daily body weight gain; ADFIL, average daily feed intake liquid; ADFIP, average daily feed intake powder; DSS, dextran sodium sulfate; G:F, gain-to-feed or feed efficiency; PND, postnatal day; TBCD, gamma-cyclodextrin-encapsulated tributyrin.
