Items	NC	PC	BPT1	BPT2	SE²
E. coli (log10 cfu/g)	6.55^a	6.00^b	6.32^ab	6.14^b	0.10
Lactobacillus (log10 cfu/g)	6.89^b	6.93^b	7.16^ab	7.52^a	0.14

NC = Basal diet (negative control); PC = Basal diet+22 ppm tylosin (positive control); BPT1 = NC+0.025% bacterphage; BPT2 = NC+0.05% bacterphage.

Standard error.

Fecal score: 0, normal; 1, soft feces; 2, mild diarrhea; 3, severe diarrhea.
