Mucosal apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran 4 kDa (FD4) (a) at the duodenum and (b) distal jejunum, and horseradish peroxidase 40 kDa (HRP) (c) at the duodenum and (d) distal jejunum of piglets either weaned at 3 weeks of age (3w), 4 weeks of age (4w), or separated from the sow at 3 d of age and fed a milk replacer until weaning at 3w of age (3d3w). Values are least squares means ± SE (n = 12 as low birth weight and normal birth weight piglets were pooled together). a,b Per day post-weaning, means without a common superscript differ for the effect of weaning treatment (WT: P ≤ 0.05)
