- aThe data represents the average % growth inhibition with standard deviations (SD) for each strain from three independent assays using the test powders at 0.02% w/v. Student’s t-test were performed for each powder to determine the statistical significance of the percent growth inhibition values for each of the three trichomonad strains to each other. p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.* p < 0.05 for T. foetus C1 (feline) and T. foetus D1 (bovine) compared against T. vaginalis G3 (human); b p < 0.05 comparison between T. foetus D1 (bovine) and T. foetus C1 (feline)
