E. van Heugen et al. evaluated the effects of SC supplementation on faecal microflora and assessed whether live yeast could replace antibiotics and growth-promoting effect of Zn and Cu in nursery pigs. They found variable responses, and determined the conditions under which a measurable response can be expected (4). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of SC dietary supplementation on the presence of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) strains and Clostridium perfringens in faeces, general signs of diarrhea and performance of postweaning piglets.
