The effect of piglet preferred teat pair on piglets probability to be classified nonconsumer or consumer. Piglets were classified as either nonconsumers or consumers (low, moderate, or high) on the basis of the number of positive fecal samples. Teat pair class was classified according to anatomical location of the teats (i.e., anterior [teat pairs 1 to 2], middle [teat pairs 3 to 5], or posterior [teat pair ≥6]). Data are represented in probability ±SE. Within consumer class bars with different superscripts (a,b) differ significantly (P < 0.05) across the different teat pair classes.
