¹Values are least square means
²Post-weaning period: Pigs were fed the CNT or AAP diet for 3 weeks after weaning (from week 0 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
