Vitamin E (A), haptoglobin plasma concentrations (B), and Oxidative Stress Index (C) at week 9.1,2. 1 Pigs received a CNT or AAP diet during the pre-starter (from week 0 to 1) and starter (from week 2 to 6) phases. The AAP diet consisted of a control standard diet (CNT) supplemented with 0.2% of a blend of functional amino acids (L-arginine, L-cystine, L-leucine, L-valine, L-isoleucine, and L-glutamine) and grape polyphenols. 2 After the week 6, CNT and AAP pigs were housed in good (good) and poor (poor) hygiene of housing conditions for 3 weeks (from week 7 to 9). 3 P-values: Probability values for the effect of experimental diets (ED), hygiene conditions (Hyg) and their interaction (ED × Hyg). a,b Values with different superscripts differed (P ≤ 0.05)
