(A) Percent weight change (expressed as % of starting weight at week 0) of the tracked EE and NE animals beginning at week 0 (5 weeks of age). (B) Survival rate of animals in EE and NE groups during the 18-week observation period. Two out of ten animals in NE group reached the euthanasia criteria. (C) Fecal lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) levels before antibiotic treatment (week 6) and at the end of the observation period (week 18) in EE and NE animals. (D) Fecal lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) levels before antibiotics treatment (week 6) and at the end point of the observation period (week 18) in LE and ELE animals. (E) Percent weight change (expressed as % of starting weight at week 0) of the tracked LE and ELE animals beginning at week 0 (5 weeks of age). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001. Data are represented as mean ± SEM for (A), (C)-(E).
