Effects of liquid feeding on jejunal morphology in 31-d-old weanling pigs¹

Item	CON2	LF3	SEM	P
Villus height, μm	334.79a	378.42b	19.12	0.043
Crypt depth, μm	172.63	150.25	10.75	0.063
Villus:crypt4	2.01a	2.54b	0.22	0.036

¹Values means n = 6 for CON and LF groups. The measurements were average of a minimum of 10 measures per sample.

²CON = basal diet with dry feeding.

³LF = basal diet with liquid feeding.

⁴Villus:crypt = villus height:crypt depth.

^a,bMeans within a row lacking a common superscript differ at P < 0.05.
