Villi height/crypt depth ratio of nursery pigs fed either a control (non-medicated), control + antibiotics, or control + lysozyme diet for 28 days. Villi height increased and crypt depth decreased exclusively in the jejunum of pigs consuming antibiotics or lysozyme, resulting in an increase of approximately 70 % in villi height to crypt depth ratio. These data were adapted from Oliver and Wells [12]. *Mean differs from control (P < 0.05)
