Control, no environmental enrichment installation during lactation; WBW-1, environmental enrichment installation 1 week before weaning; WBW-2, environmental enrichment installation 2 weeks before weaning.
X, without object installation as environmental enrichment after weaning; O, with object installation as environmental enrichment after weaning.
ADG, average daily gain; ADFI, average daily feed intake; G/F, feed efficiency.
