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