From: Long-chain glucomannan supplementation modulates immune responsiveness, as well as intestinal microbiota, and impacts infection of broiler chickens with Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis

Figure 1

Effect of GM on SE load, chicken growth and numbers of IELs and splenic leukocytes before and during infection in broiler chickens. A Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (SE, CFU/g) in the spleen of chickens either fed standard (control) or long-chain glucomannan supplemented (GM) diet before and during SE infection. B Body weights (g) of chickens either fed standard or GM diet in course of time before and during SE infection. C Numbers (cells/mg) of IELs in the ileum and D leukocytes in the spleen of chickens fed standard or GM diet in course of time before and during SE infection. Mean  +  SEM per diet group and time point are shown (n  = 6) and statistical significance between diet groups is indicated as *(p  < 0.05).
