Finally, the piglets from supplemented mothers showed a trend for a higher weaning weight ( p = 0.066) and, specifically, piglets with birth weights above 1 kg showed a 7.4% higher weaning weight ( p = 0.024).

Plasma concentrations of vitamin E found in our study were also consistent with a previous experiment using similar daily maternal vitamin supplementation but in a shorter treatment that started at day 90 of gestation [ 31 ]; plasma vitamin E concentration in supplemented sows were higher than in the controls, but differences did not reach statistical significance.
Statistical significance was accepted from p < 0.05 and a statistical trend was considered when 0.05 < p < 0.1. 3.
