Figure 5

The effect of Shiga toxin (Stx) expression on the amount of Shiga toxin – producing Escherichia coli (STEC) shed by beef feeder calves fed diets containing 0 (control) or 14 g/[heifer•d] Celmanax®. The fecal samples were collected at day 0 and again at day 35. Mean values are shown (n = 28 for both treatments in spring; n = 30 for control treatments in summer and n = 31 for CelmanaxTM treatments in summer). The contribution of Stx expression was scored as follows: 1 = no Stx expression; 2 = Stx1 expression; 3 = Stx2 expression; 4 = Stx1 and Stx2 expression.
