NE = necrotic enteritis; FITC-d = fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran.

^{a – c} Values in a row with no common superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05). Mean values are based on 2 birds per replicate and 13 replicates per treatment.

UCC, unchallenged control; CHC, challenged control; BAC, zinc bacitracin; SMP, a blend of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) and phenolic compound; SMF, a blend of buffered SCFA with MCFA; SHM, a blend of buffered SCFA with a high concentration of MCFA.

NE challenged birds were gavaged with Eimeria spp. at d 9 and C. perfringens at d 14.
