¹ SEM standard error of the mean; the values are means ± SEM; 6 replicates. Means within a row lacking a common letter are significantly different (P < 0.05). The incidence of diarrhea in pigs within a pen was calculated as follows: Number of pigs with diarrhea in each pen × number of days of diarrhea/(total number of pigs × number of days in the experiment) × 100
