1V/C, the Villus height to Crypt depth rate.

2Treatments consisted of (1) Control; basal diet, (2) LBPs; basal diet + 4,000 mg/kg LBPs and (3) ABO; basal diet + 20 mg/kg flavomycin + 50 mg/kg quinones.

3SEM, pooled standard error of mean (n = 8).

a,bMeans within each row with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05).
