A total of 340 weaned pigs (Line 241 × 600, DNA; initially 11.2 lb BW) were used in a 45-d study to evaluate previous sow treatment (control vs. yeast additives) and nursery diets with or without added yeast-based pre- and probiotics (Phileo by Lesaffre, Milwaukee, WI) on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of fecalEscherichia coli. At placement in the nursery, pigs were housed by pen based on sow treatment and randomly assigned to 1 of 2 dietary treatments with 5 pigs per pen and 17 pens per treatment.
