Effect of L.j or L.m on the colonic SCFA profile in LPS-challenged piglets. Colonic lactic acid (A), acetic acid (B), propionic acid (C), and butyric acid (D) concentrations. Correlation analysis of differential bacteria in the colonic digesta with butyric acid concentration in the L. j (E) and L. m (F) intervention groups. The data are presented as the means ± SEMs (n = 8). Differences between the LPS and CON groups, **P < 0.01. Differences between the LPS + L. j or LPS + L. m group and the LPS group, #P < 0.05. CON, control; L. j, Limosilactobacillus johnsoni; L. m, Limosilactobacillus mucosae; LPS, lipopolysaccharide
