Representative photomicrographs of small intestine (duodenum) indicating differences in villi height (V) and crypt depth (Cr) after d 5 of treatment for 31 days old weaner pigs comparing between the two treatments: control (a) and MCT (b) in Experiment 1. Scale bar = 500 μm. Corresponding measurements of villous height (c) and crypt depth (d) of the three sections of the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) for the control treatment (white bars; n = 8 pigs) and the MCT treatment (black bars; n = 8 pigs). Values are means ± S.E.M. * = P < 0.05 significance between MCT and control treatment
