This was consistent with an earlier study
showing that piglets provided with LAB (enteral feeding for 2 days with formula with LAB vs. porcine
colostrum or formula groups) had a lower density of the potential pathogen Clostridium perfringens [14].
In addition, commensal Lactobacillus bacteria were more closely associated with enterocytes along the
villus-crypt in piglets treated with LAB [14].
