- Treatment groups: V1 (vaccinated before weaning, at 18 days of age, challenge infected), V2 (vaccinated on the day of weaning, at 21 days of age, challenge infected) and PCG (non-vaccinated, challenge infected). Overall and pairwise comparisons did not reveal any significant differences between the groups for the three different periods. D48: experimental infection, D83: euthanasia
