Pairwise P-value between POS and ISF treatments.
Gilt served as the experimental unit.
Abbreviations: CON, control treatment (unsupplemented diet without infection); Ct, cycle threshold; DPI, days post-inoculation; ISF, isoflavone-supplemented treatment (with infection); POS, positive control (unsupplemented diet with infection); SEM, standard error of the mean.
