Note: The values represent means from three animals in each week ± SD. The different lowercase letters (a–c) for average values in columns indicate statistically significant differences in the concentration of particular microorganisms within the time of sampling (p < 0.05). The different capital letters (A,B) for average values in rows indicate statistically significant differences in the concentration of particular microorganisms within the group of sampling in each week (p < 0.05).
