Microbiological parameters in feces from 25- and 61-day-old pigs.

Microbiological Parameters (log₁₀ CFU/g)	Day	Treatments		p
Microbiological Parameters (log₁₀ CFU/g)	Day	C	T	Day × Treatment Interaction
LAB	Baseline	7.8 ± 0.3 ^Aa	8.3 ± 0.1^Ab	0.0001
LAB	61	6.2 ± 0.1 ^Bb	5.2 ± 0.1 ^Ba	0.0001
TBC	Baseline	7.1 ± 0.2 ^Aa	8.4 ± 0.1 ^Ab	0.0001
TBC	61	6.4 ± 0.1 ^Ba	6.4 ± 0.1 ^Ba	0.0001
TEC	Baseline	7.2 ± 0.1 ^Ba	7.4 ± 0.1 ^Ba	0.081
TEC	61	6.4 ± 0.2 ^Aa	6.9 ± 0.1 ^Ab	0.081
Y/F	Baseline	6.7 ± 0.1 ^Bb	6.2 ± 0.1 ^Ba	0.122
Y/F	61	6.4 ± 0.1 ^Ab	5.7 ± 0.1 ^Aa	0.122

LAB—lactic acid bacteria; TBC— total bacteria count; TEC—total enterobacteria count; Y/M—yeast/mold count; CFU—colony-forming units; C—control group, fed with the basal diet; T—treated group, fed with the fermented feed; 25d—25-day-old piglets; 61d—61-day-old piglets. ^A,B different capitals indicate significant time-related differences (p < 0.05); ^a,b different letters indicate differences among treatments (p < 0.05) Data are presented as mean ± SE (n = 10/group).Baseline measurements were done on d 25, before the start of the feeding experiment.
