GLZ treatment increases survival rate and blood immunoglobulin IgG levels and prevents pneumonia in weanling piglets. (a) Changes in survival rate among piglets from 4 to 10 weeks of age receiving sham, 0.2% TAB, and 0.2% GLZ treatments. (b) Blood IgG levels in piglets at 10 weeks of age for each treatment. Values are mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 3 for each group; ^∗∗p < 0.01, ^∗p < 0.05, one-way analysis of variance followed by Student–Newman–Keuls multiple-comparison posttest). (c) Representative H&E stains of lung tissue of piglets at 10 weeks of age for each treatment. Pneumonia was observed in lung tissue in sham and 0.2% TAB groups but not in 0.2% GLZ group. Scale bars = 150 μm.
