ADWG and weight during the growing phase. Mean ± SD values of ADWG (a) and body weight (b). Panel A: control LBW, underfed LBW, control NBW and underfed NBW pigs. Panel B: LBW female, LBW male, NBW female and NBW male pigs. LBW = Low birth weight, NBW = Normal birth weight, ADWG = Average daily weight gain. Asterisks indicate significant differences between groups (t = 0.1 > P > 0.05, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.005)
