* IT means with * are significantly different to IUC (p ≤ 0.05).

1 Intestinal lesions were scored on seeder birds on day 18 and on contact birds on days 26 and 35. The values reported represent the sum of lesion scores specific to Eimeria acervulina, tenella and maxima.

a,b,c, Means in a column within a study with different superscript are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05).
