Figure 2From: Oral vitamin A supplementation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infected gilts enhances IgA and lactogenic immune protection of nursing pigletsDaily oral VA supplementation significantly decreased diarrhea in PEDV infected gilts. A Virus shedding was determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and expressed as log10 copies/mL. B Diarrhea was determined by fecal consistency score > 1 (fecal consistency was scored as follows: 0, normal; 1, pasty/semiliquid; 2, liquid; 3, watery). Different alphabetical letters indicate significant differences among treatment groups (mean ± SEM). Statistical analysis was performed using the two-way ANOVA with repeated measures and Bonferroni’s correction for multiple comparisons. *P < 0.05.Back to article page
