CM improves biochemical barrier function. (A) Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining of the duodenum, ↔ represents goblet cells, and ↔ represents intestinal epithelial cells. (B) Count and analysis of the number of goblet cells (n = 5). (C) RT-qPCR analysis of the mRNA expression level of MUC-2 (n = 4). (D) ELISA analysis of the concentration of SIgA in the duodenal mucosa (n = 5). Control, pigs fed a basal diet; CM, pigs fed the basal diet supplemented with CM at 300 mg/kg. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
