  1. *n = 6 per pen, experimental diets were control diet (CON), CON + 75 mg/kg aureomycin (ANT), CON + 1 × 108 CFU/kg S. boulardii mafic-1701 (SB). The rate of diarrhea was calculated according to the following formula: the rate of diarrhea (%) = (number of piglets with diarrhea × diarrhea days)/(number of piglets × total observational days) × 100. In the same row, values with different lowercase letter superscripts mean significant difference (P < 0.05)
