Figure 1 The developmental patterns of gastric weight in Erhualian and Large White boars.

Figure 2 The developmental patterns of body weight in Erhualian and Large White boars.

Figure 3 The developmental patterns of the relative gastric weight in Erhualian and Large White boars.

Figure 4 The developmental patterns of the pepsin activity (U/g protein) of fundic mucosa in Letters a and b for Erhualian boars, letters c and d and g for Large White boars, letter e and f for the different breeds at same ages, different letters differ significantly P < 0. 05.
