Number of liver lesions, liver lesion scores calculated, and the number of birds diagnosed positive to SLD during the postmortem of the hens included in the present study. The number of lesions is a rough calculation based on the observation of all the surfaces of the liver. Columns represent the average number of lesions, and the error bars the SD. The liver lesion scores were calculated using the number of lesions observed on the surface of the liver. 0, no lesions detected; 1, 1 to 9 lesions; 2, 10 to 99 lesions; 3, 100 to 999 lesions; 4, more than 1,000 lesions. The central line on each box shows the median score and the margins of the box represent the interquartile range, and the external lines show the minimum and maximum values. (A) data obtained from all the Short group, euthanized 6 DAE to C. hepaticus (number of lesions on the surface of the livers and box plot showing the SLD liver scores). (B) Data obtained from PC and HD-IQA Short groups only (number of lesions on the surface of the livers and box plot showing the SLD liver scores). (C) Proportion of hens positive and negative to SLD by group (Short groups). The positive and negative status was determined by the presence or absence of miliary lesions in the surface of the liver. Abbreviations: NC, negative control; HD-IQA, high dose IQA; LD-IQA, low dose IQA; PC, positive control.
