Differences in least squares means of log rDNA or DNA copy numbers of target groups. Vaginal mucus was sampled from ten animals before and after calving, and bacterial rDNA, shiga-like-toxin genes, and the pediocin structural gene were quantified by qPCR. The figure depicts the differences in least squares means of the target groups. Statistically significant differences between prepartum and postpartum periods were observed in all groups (as indicated by *) except for the lactic acid bacteria group.
