Table 1 Summary of the weaning age and weights of the piglets in each trial

Trial	Weaning age (d)	SEM	Weaning weight (Kg)	SEM
Trial A^41/25	26.05	4.50	5.70	0.85
Trial B^28/25	26.07	3.10	5.71	0.85
Trial C^21/50	22.47	2.54	5.13	0.75
Trial D^21/50	23.60	2.99	5.48	0.65

Trial A^41/25: LPS challenge on day 41 post-weaning, p.w. with LPS dose 25 µg/kg BW
Trial B^28/25: LPS challenge on day 28 post-weaning, p.w. with LPS dose 25 µg/kg BW
Trial C^21/50: LPS challenge on day 21 post-weaning, p.w. with LPS dose 50 µg/kg BW
Trial D^21/50: LPS challenge on day 21 post-weaning, p.w. with LPS dose 50 µg/kg BW
Trial D was a repetition of trial C conditions (LPS dose and the piglets’ age) aiming to observe the repeatability of the oxidative stress model
