SP, S or F/W indicates the sows during spring, summer or fall/winter, respectively. The values at the columns of Descriptive statistics on different seasons are displayed as means ± SD and significant differences are presented as different alphabet letters (p < 0.05). The values at the columns of DRI CHEM are normal ranges in pigs of each parameter, suggested from the manufacturer.
