Hepatic histomorphology and histopathology from various groups of experimental broilers. The liver sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (100× magnification). 2- Control = basal diet, AFB = basal diet + 0.5 mg/kg aflatoxin B₁, LE3 = basal diet + AFB₁ + 3 g/kg licorice extract, LE6 = basal diet + AFB₁ + 6 g/kg licorice extract, PRO = basal diet + AFB₁ + 0.5 g/kg Protexin probiotic, TXB = basal diet + AFB₁ + 1 g/kg toxin binder, and PLB = basal diet + AFB₁ + 5 g/kg poultry litter biochar. The values are least square means of the 6 replicates in each treatment. Abbreviations: BN, black nodules; HD, high-density nodes; PF, peripheral fibrosis.
