The values are presented as mean ± SE, lowercase letters (a–d) in each row indicate the significant differences between different treatments on the growth properties of broiler chickens using LSD test at P < 0.05. T1: Non infected chicks; T2: Non infected chicks + SeNPs 500 mg/kg diet for 35 d; T3: E. tenella-infected chicks and non-treated; T4: E. tenella-infected chicks + treated with SeNPs 500 mg/kg; diet for 5 d; T5: E. tenella-infected chicks + treated with sulfadimidine, 16% solution 8 mL/L of drinking water for 5 d.
