Values with different lowercase superscripts differ significantly (P ≤ 0.05).

A,B

Values within a row showing mean age effect with different uppercase superscripts differ significantly (P ≤ 0.05).

1

All values are mean ± SE of 5 poults.

2

A = poults inoculated with unfiltered supernatant; B = poults inoculated with filtered supernatant; C = poults inoculated with sediment; D = poults inoculated with PBS (controls).

3

DPI = days postinoculation.

4

F-value indicates interaction between treatment and age of turkey poults. S = significant.
