Figure Lengend Snippet: Photomicrograph of intestinal segments from broiler chickens at 21 d of age. A, B, C, and D represent the duodenum from control (antibiotics-free basal diet), DFM 30 (control supplemented with 30 mg/kg of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens -based direct-fed microbial), DFM 60 (control supplemented with 30 mg/kg of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens -based direct-fed microbial, AGP (control supplemented with 15 mg/kg of virginiamycin), respectively. E, F, G, and H represent the jejunum from control, FDM 30, FDM 60, and AGP, respectively. I, J, K, and L represent the jejunum from control, FDM 30, FDM 60, and AGP, respectively. Stained with hematoxylin and eosin; Bar = 300 μm. DFM, direct-fed microbial; AGP, antibiotic growth promoter.
