a,b,cMean value within a role with no common superscript differ significantly (P < 0.05). NC, control diet; IC, control diet + Eimeria infection; P8L, control diet containing 1 × 107 cfu/g P8 + Eimeria infection; P8H, control diet containing 1 × 108 cfu/g P8 + Eimeria infection; DIC, control diet + Eimeria infection + Diclazuril. T-AOC, total antioxidant capacity. CAT, catalase. GPX, glutathione peroxidase. SOD, superoxide dismutase. MDA, malondialdehyde.
