Table 1 Cytokine concentrations (pg/ml) in colostral supernatant from sows with induced parturition (IP, n = 19) and with spontaneous non-induced parturition (NP, n = 18). The values are expressed as mean +/−SD. Cytokines showing significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) between IP and NP are marked with asterisks
