Fig. 2

Effect of early inoculation on villus height and crypt depth of the small intestines of 14-day-old and 28-day-old broilers. a Villus height of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. b Crypt depth of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. c Ratio of villus height to crypt depth (V/C) of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 8). Asterisks (* and **) represent significant differences with P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively. C group: control group; F group: fermentation broth group
