Salmonella Typhimurium quantification in intestinal contents (log10 CFU/g; d 7 postinoculation) of Salmonella-inoculated pigs¹

Item	FAA−	FAA+0	FAA+1	FAA+2	SEM	P-value
Ileum	5.47	4.61	4.95	3.92	1.273	0.78
Cecum	4.55	4.09	3.98	3.79	0.434	0.63
Colon	6.28a	6.03a	4.42ab	3.32b	0.517	<0.01

¹Values are least squares means; n = 8 pigs/treatment. FAA−, pigs fed a basal AA profile throughout the experimental period. FAA+0, pigs fed a functional AA profile (FAA+; Thr, Met, and Trp at 120% of requirements) postinoculation. FAA+1, pigs fed FAA+ for 1 wk pre- and postinoculation. FAA+2, pigs fed FAA+ throughout the experimental period. SEM, Standard error of the mean.

^a–bMeans within a row with different superscripts differ (P ≤ 0.05).
