The effect of Sodium butyrate on proinflammatory cytokines in goats fed HG diet versus those fed HG alone and LG diet

	Treatment
Item	LG	HG	HG + NaB	SEM	p value
IL-1β, ng/mL	0.1568a	0.2500b	0.1670a	0.024	0.003
IL-6, pg/mL	289.01a	612.5b	404.8c	25.40	0.01
TNF-α fmol/mL	4.008a	7.236b	2.728c	0.234	0.007

The milk yield and milk compositions were analyzed by the mixed model of SAS

LG low gain, HG high grain, HG + NaB high grain + sodium butyrate

^{a, b and c}The means with different superscript were considered significant different
