BALF cell viability and phagocytic activity. A Viability of BALF cells was evaluated using haemocytometer with Trypan blue. B Percentage and C median of fluorescence intensity of phagocytic BALF cells were assessed by flow cytometry. All data are reported as the mean (±SE) of results obtained for the pigs in Control or Finistere group (n = 5 for each) or the surviving pigs (n = 5–8) in Lena group. “a” indicates a significant difference between the Control and Lena groups, “b” a significant difference between the Control and Finistere groups and “c” a significant difference between the Lena and Finistere groups using a global Kruskal–Wallis test followed by a Holm’s adjusted pairwise Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05).
