^aExperimental diets were corn-soybean meal based high diet (HF) and HF supplemented with medium dose of BCAAs (HF-MB). ^bT-test was performed when comparing HF-MB and HF groups. P values less than 0.05 was considered statistically different. Colostrum was collected within 2 h from sow mammary gland at parturition. SEM Standard error of mean
