SEM, standard error of the mean
^a,bDifferent superscripts within a column indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05)
^x,ydifferent superscripts within a column indicate a tendency difference (P < 0.1)
¹Dietary treatment = additional Fysal® Solute (FS) at 2 kg/ton
²Measurement unit for all lymphocytes is amount of cells/μL
³NK = lymphocytes Natural killer (CD45 + CD3-CD16 + CD56 +), B = lymphocytes B (CD45 + CD21 +), T CD 4 Th = lymphocytes T helper (CD45 + CD3 + CD4a +), T CD 8 Tc = lymphocytes T cytotoxic (CD45 + CD3 + CD8a +), TCD3 = lymphocytes T (CD45 + CD3e +)
