TABLE 4.

Effects of B. licheniformis and enramycin on jejunal morphology of 25-day-old broilers challenged with SNE.

Items	PC	PA	PG	SEM	P values
Goblet cells	194.8^a	149.5^b	204.6^a	8.196	0.005
VH (μm)	706.8	692.3	738.1	30.014	0.828
CD (μm)	180.5	191.8	196.4	6.964	0.953
VH/CD	4.12	3.65	3.68	0.159	0.459

Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 6; cage was used as experimental unit). PC, basal diet + SNE; PA, basal diet extra antibiotics + SNE; PG, basal diet extra B. licheniformis + SNE. Means within a row lacking a common superscript differ significantly (P < 0.05).

Goblet cells, the number of goblet cells on a villus; VH, villus height; CD, crypt depth.
