Items, log10cfu/g | CON | TRT1 | TRT2 | SEM | p-value |
CB | 6.36 | 6.30 | 6.19 | 0.03 | 0.087 |
LAB | 9.40 | 9.50 | 9.62 | 0.03 | 0.070 |
CON, basal diet; TRT1, basal diet + 3,000 ppm ZnO; TRT2, basal diet + 750 ppm Zn-Asp.
Means in the equivalent row show the superscripts differ (p < 0.05).
CB, coliform bacteria; LAB, lactic acid bacteria.
