Figure 1

Piglets fed with hLZ milk were protected from ETEC. The left column A–D represents data collected from ETEC challenged piglets, and the right column E–H represents cohabited piglets that passively acquired ETEC from challenged littermates. Time zero is defined as the point at which piglets were challenged and penned with the unchallenged (cohabited) piglets. Clinical scores for challenged (A) or cohabitated (E) piglets. Rectal temperature was monitored daily (B, F). The body weight gains were measured at the indicated times (C, G). Survival rates (D, H). Note that all challenged piglets were euthanized on day 7. Asterisk indicates P < 0.05. hLZ: hLZ milk-fed piglets, WT: control milk-fed piglets, Chal: challenged, Coh: cohabited.
