From: Combined dietary supplementation of long chain inulin and Lactobacillus acidophilus W37 supports oral vaccination efficacy against Salmonella Typhimurium in piglets

Figure 4

Levels of antibody titres in piglets’ blood after vaccination against Salmonella Typhimurium in the different treatment groups. Antibody titer was measured prior to vaccination on d24, a day after vaccination (d26) and on d44, d52 and d55 after birth. Challenge with STM started on d52, after blood samples were collected, and ended on d54. Animals were sacrificed on d55, after blood samples were collected. Significant differences with CTRL/NV tested with Kruskal-Wallis, followed by a Dunn’s test in GraphPad Prism (p < 0.05), are indicated by *. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. CTRL = placebo control; NV = non-vaccinated; V = vaccinated; lcITF = long-chain inulin type fructans; LaW37 = L. acidophilus W37.
