Representative images of AB-PAS staining on the jejunum of broiler chickens. (A–D) AB-PAS staining on the jejunum. Scale bar = 100 μm. (E–H) Enlargement of AB-PAS staining on the jejunum. Scale bar = 50 μm. The histogram represents the number of jejunum goblet cells in different treatment groups. Data are presented as mean value ± SEM (n = 6). Values without the same letter (a, b) represent statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Abbreviations: AB-PAS, Alcian blue-periodic acid Schiff staining; CON, broiler chickens fed a basal diet; STE, broiler chickens fed a basal diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg stevioside; SUC, broiler chickens fed a basal diet supplemented with 100 mg/kg sucralose; SAC, broiler chickens fed a basal diet supplemented with 600 mg/kg saccharin sodium.
