	NC	IC	P8L	P8H	DIC	SEM	P-value
5 days after infection
OPG (×10⁵/g of excreta)	0.00^c	11.96^a	4.52^b	1.28^c	0.55^c	0.723	0.001

^a,b,cMean value within a role with no common superscript differ significantly (P < 0.05). NC, control diet; IC, control diet + Eimeria infection; P8L, control diet containing 1 × 10⁷ cfu/g P8 + Eimeria infection; P8H, control diet containing 1 × 10⁸ cfu/g P8 + Eimeria infection; DIC, control diet + Eimeria infection + Diclazuril. OPG, oocysts per gram of excreta. BDS, bloody diarrheal score. CLS, cecal lesion score.
