Data are presented as means with pooled SEM. Values in the same row with different superscript letters were significantly different (P < 0.05). The replicates per group at 65 and 95 days of age were 8; at 125 days of age, the replicates of the control group, antibiotic group, probiotics group, and synbiotics group were 8, 6, 8, and 6, respectively.
