TR C: control; TR 12 h SC: 12 h of prefermentation skin contact; TR 24 h SC: 24 h of prefermentation skin contact; TR 3D ST: 3 days of stabulation; TR 7D ST: 7 days of stabulation. N = 3 per treatment variant. The same letter indicates no significant difference. The data were analysed with one-way analysis of variance with the Benjamin–Hochberg correction followed by the Tukey B test for pairwise comparisons ().
