n=20 per treatment; Villus Height: Crypt Depth (V:C); (n/100 µm villus height)

T1: Uninfected; T2: Infected; T3: Infected+0.5 kg/ton; T4: Infected+1 kg/ton; T5: Infected+2 kg/ton; T6: Infected+DPEP; T7: Infected 0.4 kg/ton

Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences (P<0.05).

The analysis was performed in triplicates.
