Figure Lengend Snippet: Ileal (A – D) and cecal (E – H) sections of broiler chickens after staining with alcian blue (pH 2.5)-periodic acid-Schiff's reagent technique. A, E – control group; B, F – group treated with 0.1% sodium butyrate; C, G – group treated with 0.3% sodium butyrate; D, H – group treated with 0.5% sodium butyrate. The pictures were taken under the light microscope Zeiss Axio Star Plus (Carl Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany) at 20x objective. In both segments, only goblet cells with acidic mucins (blue-stained) were found. Goblet cells with neutral mucins (magenta-stained) were not found.
