¹Optical density values analyzed by ELISA. Neg means that the O.D. value is below the cut-off established for the technique (<0.300).
²Serum samples from pigs were stored at −80°C since the experiment [34] was completed (April to October, 2006) and retrospectively analyzed for the presence of HEV AB during April to May, 2012.
³Respective control or SDPP groups of pigs were fed diets containing 0% or 8% SDPP for 28 days.
⁴Indicated if the pigs were intranasal challenged with PRRSV.
