- aADG, average daily gain; ADFI, average daily feed intake; F/G, feed to gain ratio. bPiglets were fed different diets. NC, negative control, control diet; PC, positive control, control diet + 0.1 g/kg antibiotic (colistin sulphate); CB, control diet + 5 × 108 CFU/kg of C. butyricum. 3SEM, total standard error of means. (n = 6)
