Immune Response of Piglets Receiving Mixture of Formic and Propionic Acid Alone or with Either Capric Acid or Bacillus Licheniformis after Escherichia coli Challenge

Figure 2

Effects of organic acid or organic acid supplemented with either capric acid or Bacillus Licheniformis on rectal temperature of pigs challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). CON = basal diet; ATB = basal diet plus antibiotics; OA = basal diet plus 1% organic acid; OA + CRA = basal diet plus 1% organic acid + 0.2% capric; OA + PB = basal diet plus 1% organic acid + 0.02% probiotic (3.3 × 10⁶ viable spores of Bacillus Licheniformis per gram of feed). Values are least squares means ± SEM. Within per treatment, value at different time points without a common superscript differs (P < 0.05); within per time point, value with different treatments without a common superscript differs (P < 0.05).
