Effects of dietary algal protein supplementation and strain F18 ETEC infection on dry matter content of feces from weanling pigs collected on 7 DPI. Means without a common superscript letter differ (P < 0.05). Values represent least square means of 8 to 12 pigs per treatment. All pigs were started on their assigned dietary treatment starting at –10 DPI. Experimental treatments: NC, sham-inoculated pigs receiving 1.0% wild-type algal protein; PC, ETEC-inoculated pigs receiving 1.0% wild-type algal protein; OA, ETEC-inoculated pigs receiving 1.0% OPN-enriched algal protein. Abbreviations: ETEC, enterotoxigenic E. coli; DPI, days postinoculation; TRT, treatment.
