Pairwise P-value between POS and ISF treatments.
Litter served as the experimental unit.
Abbreviations: CON, control treatment (unsupplemented diet without infection); ISF, isoflavone-supplemented treatment (with infection); POS, positive control (unsupplemented diet with infection); PND, postnatal day; SEM, standard error of the mean.
