  1. Hurdle models: x0 = number of samples with zero QNSE detected, mean = mean of colony forming units (CFU) per gram (g) faeces, count part, zero part = hurdle models with count and zero part and confidence intervals (CI 95%) in log CFU/g faeces. Trt = treated group (G1 and G3), Ctat = contact group (G2 and G4), Ctrl = control group (G5), * = significant values (not overlapping confidence intervals), # = indicates not convertible hurdle models with large and non-useful standard errors
