*Experimental diets were control diet (CON), CON + 75 mg/kg aureomycin (ANT), CON + 1 × 108 CFU/kg S. boulardii mafic-1701 (SB). Intestinal tissues were collected from three piglets per treatment. In the same row, values with different lowercase letter superscripts mean significant difference (P < 0.05)
