  • Increased Serum Lysozyme Activity

  • Low evidence
  • Rigorous Journal
  • Animal Study

  Serum lysozyme activity at day 21 increased linearly with dietary E. faecium concentration (P < 0.05), the highest activity was observed in the 1 × 10^8 and the 2 × 10^8 CFU E. faecium groups (P < 0.01).
