Gross pathological changes in the caeca of chickens from the different groups in Experiment 2 post-challenge with E. tenella. A The caeca of chickens in the PBS group showed no pathological changes. B On Day 7 post-challenge, the gross pathological changes in the caeca of chickens in the E. tenella-infected control group were remarkable and included swelling and haemorrhagic points on the surface of the caeca. However, the caeca of the chickens orally gavaged with the three different dosages (high, medium and low) of EA combined with live L. brevis 23017, the C L/EA + L/LB(+), D M/EA + M/LB(+)and E H/EA + H/LB(+)groups, and especially the H/EA + H/LB(+) group, displayed slight gross pathological changes.
