Table 3.

Comparison of histopathology, intestinal lesion scoring and immune response of broiler birds in four trial groups.¹

Parameters	Treatment				SEM²	p-value
Parameters	T1	T2	T3	T4	SEM²	p-value
Gut histopathology (n = 4)	2.00 ± 0.00	1.00 ± 0.00	2.00 ± 0.00	2.00 ± 0.00	0.11	-
Intestinal lesion scoring (n = 8)	2.88 ± 0.13^a	2.25 ± 0.25^a	2.75 ± 0.14^a	2.88± 0.24^a	0.11	0.13
Antibody titer (log₂) to SRBC antigen (n = 12)	2.67 ± 0.76^a	3.17 ± 0.56^a	2.75 ± 0.62^a	2.83± 0.79^a	0.33	0.959
Antibody titer (log₂) against Newcastle virus (n = 12)	4.31 ± 0.50^a	4.44 ± 0.48^a	4.25 ± 0.25^a	4.31± 0.34^a	0.18	0.99

Values are mean and standard error. Mean values in the same row with different letters differ significantly (p<0.05). n = Number of birds of a treatment group examined for each test. ² SEM = Standard error of mean
