Histological alterations of the intestinal villi and epithelial cells in chickens fed dietary sugar cane extract.

摘要: 1. Sugar cane extract (SCE) is the residue after removing glucose, fructose and sucrose from sugar juice. To investigate effects of dietary SCE on growth performance alterations to intestinal histology, 36 male Sanuki Cochin chickens were divided into three groups: a control group was fed commercial diet (180 g/kg CP, 13·59 MJ/kg ME) treatment groups supplemented with 0·5 or 10 g/kg ad libitum for 35 d. 2. Feed intake weight gain tended be higher in than group. No specific gross morphological observed visceral organs any groups. However, villus height, area, epithelial cell area mitosis each segment had values In groups, but not group, cells apical surface protuberated larger clusters some...
