PB C: control; PB 12 h SC: 12 h of prefermentation skin contact; PB 24 h SC: 24 h of prefermentation skin contact; PB 3D ST: 3 days of stabulation; PB 7D ST: 7 days of stabulation; n.d., not detectable. 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 ().
