Short-term exposure to raw well drinking water impacts resident macrophage and lymphocyte numbers in broiler chickens. Birds were exposed to well water as drinking source for 7d. Leukocytes were isolated through abdominal lavage and incubated with anti-PE-KUL01 antibody, to determine the proportions of resident macrophages. CD8 T lymphocytes were identified using a Cy5 anti-chicken CD8 antibody. Data represents mean ± SEM (n = 6). Differences were assessed using two-way ANOVA and Sidak's multiple comparison test. *p < 0.05.
