The probiotic was only supplemented to the sows in the III group and to the piglets of the IV group in the same quantities as those in the second group. Both sows and piglets diets in the I (control) group were not supplemented with Lactina. Blood samples were taken from 20 randomly chosen piglets (5 in each group) at 5 and 35 days of age.
