Fecal score3) | 0.26b | 0.76a | 0.33b | 0.31b | 0.30b | 0.29b | 0.28b | 0.017 | 0.02 |
Each value is the mean value of 4 replicates.
PC, basal diet in animal welfare density; NC, basal diet in high stocking density; PT1, basal diet with PFA1 in high stocking density; PT2, basal diet with PFA2 in high stocking density; PT3, basal diet with PFA3 in high stocking density; PT4, basal diet with PFA4 in high stocking density; PT5, basal diet with PFA5 in high stocking density.
Fecal score was deterrmined as follow : 0, normal feces; 1, soft feces; 2, mild diarrhea; 3, severe diarrhea.
Means within column with different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05).
PFA, phytogenic feed additives.
