Changes in serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations (mean ± SD) around the peripartum period in sows from individual experimental groups. PDS – postpartum dysgalactia syndrome; * – statistically significant differences compared to day −28 and day −14 in the healthy group; (P < 0.05); ** – statistically significant differences compared to day 28 and day 14 in the healthy group; (P < 0.05)
