Effects of diets on jejunum morphology.

Item	Diets¹			SEM	P-value
Item	Control	LL	SL	SEM	P-value
Villus height (VH), μm	813.6^a	703.4^b	793.1^ab	33.8	0.050
Crypt depth (CD), μm	291.3	281.3	287.1	2.9	0.831
VH:CD ratio	2.78^a	2.51^b	2.77^a	0.09	0.043

SEM = standard error of the mean.

^{a, b} Different letters within a row indicate significant differences at P < 0.05.

Control, a normal protein containing 20% CP; LL, a low ratio of Lys to CP diet containing 17% CP; SL, a standard ratio of Lys to CP diet containing 17% CP; number of observation is 8.
