Ileal morphology of broilers. (A–D) Ileal morphological observation of broilers. (A) Group A, normal diet (110 mg/kg MHA-Zn); (B) Group B, low-protein diet (70 mg/kg MHA-Zn); (C) Group C, low-protein diet (90 mg/kg MHA-Zn); (D) Group D, low-protein diet (110 mg/kg MHA-Zn). The scale is 500 μm. (E–G) Ileal morphological analysis of broilers. (E) Villus height (μm). (F) Crypt depth (μm). (G) Villus height/crypt depth. The results are expressed as the means ± SDs, n = 3. *Indicates a difference at p < 0.05, **at p < 0.01, ***at p < 0.001.
