Fecal Salmonella spp. prevalence in high-risk cattle fed supplemental Bacillus subtilis PB6 and/or chromium propionate
Treatmenta | P-value | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Item | CON | CST | CHR | CST + CHR | SEMb | CST | CHR | CST × CHR |
Salmonella spp., CFU/gc | 4,150 | 4 | 13,620 | 220 | 18.94 | 0.07 | 0.33 | 0.49 |
aCON = negative control; CST = 13 g per animal daily DM inclusion of prepared Bacillus subtilis PB6 product (CLOSTAT, Kemin Industries, Des Moines, IA); CHR = 450 ppb DM chromium propionate (KemTRACE Chromium, Kemin Industries); CST + CHR = 13 g per animal daily DM inclusion of prepared Bacillus subtilis PB6 product + 450 ppb DM chromium propionate.
bStandard error of the least square mean.
c P-value and SEM reported from data transformed using square root. Treatment means are back-transformed to reflect actual CFU/g.
