Base pair length (bp) of characteristic terminal restriction fragments (TRFs), i.e. TRFs demonstrated in at least 3 out of 5 pigs in samples collected at the ileo-caecal ostium. Samples were collected following feeding a standard feed (SF) as the trial was initiated (day 0) and after offering feed with different contents of NSP for 17 days.¹
