Supplementary table 1. Body weight and severity of diarrhoea from the Non-Infected Study (NIS). Faecal samples are scored from 1 to 4 based on colour, texture and amount of stool. Scores of diarrhoea index (DI) ≥ 2 indicate diarrhoeic faeces. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5 animals/group).
