40-Ct values of swabs from duodenum, jejunum, ileum and cecum of broilers sampled at different days post hatch (dph) detected with the newly developed quantitative PCR for Enterococcus cecorum (EC). n = 4 to 10. a, c, e and g. Days 3, 13, 17 and 31 ph of cycle I, which developed EC-associated disease. b, d, f and h. Days 4, 14, 18 and 32 ph of cycle II, which developed no EC-associated disease. Different uppercase superscript letters indicate significant differences between groups (P ≤ 0.05; Kruskal-Wallis Test, post hoc-test Dunn’s All-Pairwise Comparisons)
