1 Abbreviation: Phase 1: TRT1, 6% BP; TRT2, 3% BP+ 3% yeast; TRT3, 6% yeast. Phase 2: TRT1, 3% BP; TRT2, 1.5% BP + 1.5% yeast; TRT3, 3% yeast. Phase 3: TRT1; TRT2; TRT3, Basal diet (CON). 2 Standard error of means. 3 Score: 1 = hard, dry pellets in a small, hard mass; 2 = hard, formed stool that remains firm and soft; 3 = soft, formed, and moist stool that retains its shape; 4 = soft, unformed stool that assumes the shape of the container; 5 = watery, liquid stool that can be poured.
