NOR: Normal group; LOP: Loperamide treated group; BIS: Loperamide and Bisacodyl 8 mg/kg treated group; SNZ-L: Loperamide and B. coagulans SNZ 1969 at 1 × 10⁸ CFU/day treated group; SNZ-H: Loperamide and B. coagulans SNZ 1969 at 1 × 10¹⁰ CFU/day treated group. Results are presented as mean ± SE (n = 8). Means with the different letters above a bar are significantly different at p < 0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test.
