Total fecal mucin output (mg/d) 2 d before and 4 d post-Salmonella Typhimurium inoculation in pigs fed high or low fiber diets with either standard or supplemental dietary threonine. Total fecal mucin output was estimated using determined mucin concentration in feces and estimated total fecal output based on previously determined dry matter digestibility. A total of 8 replicate pigs/treatment were used in the analysis. Total fecal mucin output was higher post-ST inoculation (P < 0.01) compared to output pre-inoculation (a). There was a significant fiber × Thr interaction (P < 0.05) on total fecal mucin output (b)
