¹Control, CB and EF represents the piglets supplemented with basal diet, piglets supplemented with the C. butyricum and piglets supplemented with E. faecalis, respectively. Piglets were regarded as the experimental units.

²Pooled SEM; n = 6 per treatment.

^a,bmeans within the same raw with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05).
