  1. 1Sows were assigned a perineal score based on their relative risk of experiencing a pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Sows assigned PS1 were presumed low risk for POP while sows assigned PS3 were presumed high risk for POP.
  2. 2Metabolite list only includes those that were identifiable and statistically significant (P < 0.05) between perineal scores. Values reported as moles per mg.
