Effect of postweaning enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) F18 challenge and dietary supplementation with plant combinations on fecal shedding of the fedA gene encoding the ETEC F18 fimbriae type (gene copies/g feces) in organically reared weaner pigs. (Top panel) Lines represent trends for each group, shaded regions are 95% confidence intervals. The ETEC F18 was administered orally on days 1 and 2. (Bottom panel) Pairwise comparisons against PC; significant differences exist where the 95% empirical Bayesian simultaneous confidence interval does not cover 0 (green shade). NC, non-challenge, standard diet (n = 8); PC, challenged, standard diet (0–7 d, n = 8; 7–21 d, n = 7); GA, challenged, garlic + apple pomace (3 + 3%; 0–7 d, n = 8; 7–21 d, n = 6); GB, challenged, garlic + blackcurrant (3 + 3%; n = 8).
