Diarrhea analysis in IgY DNT and non-treated calves. a- Kaplan-Meier survival curve of diarrhea for both animal groups. b- Diarrhea onset was considered as the first days with a fecal score equal to or higher than 2. It was recorded for each calf and the average for each experimental group was then calculated. c- Diarrhea duration was recorded for each calf as the number of consecutive days with a fecal score > 2. The average for each group was calculated. d- Diarrhea severity was estimated as the area under the fecal scores curve (AUC) for each calf was determined and then the average AUC for diarrhea was calculated for each group. The “*” indicates significant differences among the experimental groups of calves by Mann Whitney Test, with corresponding p-values expressed on each panel
