  1. TRT 1: Piglets born from CON group sows and fed CON weaning diet
  2. TRT 2: Piglets born from CON group sows and fed a diet supplemented with 0.05% probiotic
  3. TRT 3: Piglets born from probiotic group sow and fed a weaning CON diet
  4. TRT 4: Piglets born from probiotic group sows and a fed diet supplemented with 0.05% probiotic
  5. Addition to diets all weanlings were orally administered with a 1.5 ml suspension of 1010 CFU of K88 strain of E. coli per ml
