Diarrhea scores of piglets after E. coli challenge. Piglets pretreated with yolk powder or specific IgY were orally inoculated with 5 mL of E. coli K88 at a dose of 108 CFU/mL. Diarrhea scores were recorded: (0 = normal; 1 = soft feces; 2 = mild diarrhea; 3 = watery stool). Results were expressed as means ± SEM (n = 5–15 per group). Yolk powder (Group II) versus Control group (Group I); #, P < 0.05. The raw data was shown in Additional file 3: Figure S3
