Electron microscopic micrographs of the duodenum in 42-day old piglets. (A1) SEM of the duodrenal mucosa of a Duan-Nai-An-treated piglet showing strong and thick villi. (A2) SEM of the duodenal mucosa of a yeast-treated piglet showing strong and thick villi and mucus residues. (A3) SEM showing the duodenal mucosa of a control piglet with villi sloughed off. (B1) TEM of the duodenal villi of a Duan-Nai-An-treated piglet. The microvilli were structurally intact and densely oriented (indicated by an arrow). (B2) TEM of the duodenal villi of a yeast-treated piglet. Microvilli were partially fractured (indicated by an arrow). (B3) TEM of the duodenal villi of a control piglet. Microvilli sloughed off (indicated by an arrow). (C1) TEM showing a large number of lymphocytes (indicated by an arrow) in the duodenal lamina propria of a Duan-Nai-An-treated piglet. (C2) TEM showing a large number of lymphocytes (indicated by an arrow) in the duodenal lamina propria of a yeast-treated piglet. (C3) TEM of the duodenal lamina propria of a control piglet showing necrosis, karyopyknosis and chromatin margination of lymphocytes (indicated by △).
