ADG, average daily gain; ADFI, average daily feed intake; FC, feed conversion ratio.

¹Data are means of eight replicates per treatment.

²CON, pigs were fed with a basal diet; ECON, pigs were fed with a basal diet and challenged by ETEC; EDMY, pigs were fed with a DMY-containing diet and challenged by ETEC.

^a,bWithin a row, values with different superscript letters differ (p < 0.05).
