Effects of dietary YC on villus height, crypt depth and the ratio between in digestive tract of Pacific white shrimp L. Vannamei.
| Dietary YC levels | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 0.3 % | 0.5 % | 1 % | |
| Villus height (μm) | 29.13±5.32a | 28.99±3.65a | 44.99±3.93b | 59.56±6.62c |
| Crypt depth (μm) | 28.65±6.14c | 20.76±1.62ab | 18.89±2.03a | 23.96±3.93b |
| Ratio | 1.04±0.23a | 1.40±0.21b | 2.42±0.40c | 2.53±0.41c |
All values were presented as the mean ± SE (n = 8). Means in the same row sharing with different superscript letter were significantly different (P < 0.05) as determined by Duncan's test.
