NOTE. Twenty total fecal samples for analysis: the number of fecal samples per time point/per group = 5; collection weeks: 6 and 8. Boldface indicates statistical significance.

a

Two-way ANOVA: P < .05, factors included interaction, treatment, time.

b

False discovery rate multiple comparisons: *P < .05 for FDR time point comparisons.
