The authors would like to make the following corrections to this published paper [1].
The published article does not include mortality data. This may be confusing to some readers.
In the “Abstract” of the original publication, the sentence “The rest of the recorded parameters such as the presence of diarrhoea, the piglet’s body condition score, and the number of days with antimicrobial treatment did not differ significantly between groups” should be changed to “The rest of the recorded parameters such as the presence of diarrhoea, the piglet’s body condition score, the number of days with antimicrobial treatment, and preweaning mortality, did not differ significantly between groups”.
At the end of Section 2.3, “Evaluation of Production and Clinical Parameters”, a new paragraph has been added, which includes one sentence:
“Dead piglets were also recorded for those included in the experiment.”
At the end of Section 3.2, “Clinical Parameters”, a new paragraph has been added:
“Regarding mortality, no statistically significant differences were observed (Tables S1 and S2). Morality of piglets during the study period calculated as the sum of piglets excluded (BW at birth <800 g) and dead piglets to live born piglets was 19.0% (28/147) in group A and 12.2% (16/131) in group B (p = 0.119). Morality of piglets with BW at birth >800 g during the study period calculated as dead piglets to live born with BW > 800 g was 12.5% (17/136) in group A and 11.5% (15/130) in group B (p = 0.801).”
The authors would like to add two new tables (Tables S1 and S2) as Supplementary Materials:
