LAB=Lactic acid bacteria, T0=Control treatment without probiotic, T1=Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 10 mL/day, T2=Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 20 mL/day, T3=Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 30 mL/day. Means in the same row with different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05). CFU=Colony-forming unit
