Short-chain fatty acids levels in the faeces of chickens fed with probiotic and challenged with Salmonella Typhimurium. The respective treatment groups were compared with each other at each sampling time-point of Salmonella Typhimurium post-challenge. a Acetate, b butyrate and c propionate levels in faeces at different sampling time-points (weeks 1, 4, 8 and 12 post-challenge). Bar (with asterisks) across the individual graph shows a significant effect of treatment group on short-chain fatty acids production. NC is negative control; SX is Salmonella challenge; CPX is continuous probiotic supplemented and Salmonella challenge; CPC is continuous probiotic supplemented control; IPX is intermittent probiotic supplemented and Salmonella challenge; IPC is intermittent probiotic control
