Effects of soluble or IF without or with carbohydrases on hemolytic E. coli shedding score of pigs challenged with ETEC. (A) Postchallenge log (odds ratio) of E. coli shedding score; (B) postchallenge cumulative E. coli shedding score. The accumulative shedding score on each collection day was calculated by summing up the shedding scores of 10 pigs in each treatment. NC = nonchallenge control; PC = positive challenge control; SF− = soluble fiber without carbohydrases; SF+ = soluble fiber with carbohydrases; IF− = insoluble fiber without carbohydrases; IF+ = insoluble fiber with carbohydrases. The carbohydrases contained 0.01% pectinase (Pectinase ABE; 56 PE per kg of diet), 0.01% xylanase (Econase XT; 19,000 BXU per kg of diet), and 0.001% β-glucanase (Econase GT P; 23,200 BU per kg of diet) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (AB Vista, Plantation, FL). P (IF vs. SF) < 0.01, P (enzyme) > 0.10, P (fiber × enzyme) > 0.10. *Significant difference between NC vs. PC and IF− vs. PC (P < 0.01). #Trends between IF+ vs. PC (P < 0.10).
