  1. #Group 1 represents samples collected from pigs treated with antibiotic 105 mg/d; Group 2 represents samples collected from pigs treated with L. plantarum ZJ316 1 × 109 CFU/d. And all values represent mean ± standard error
  2. &, represents the concentration of short-chain fatty acids (mMol) in each gram of fecal sample.
  3. §, represents the p-value of statistically significant difference between groups 1 and 2.
