Serum concentrations of IL-6 (a) and IFN-γ (b) at 24 d of age observed in broiler chickens infected with a mixture of Eimeria species at 14 d of age in experiment 2. Values with different superscripts are significantly different by Tukey’s pairwise test (P < 0.05). Each bar represents the mean values and standard errors representing 10 replicates per treatment and 2 birds per replicate cage (n = 10 per treatment). The average of 2 birds per replicate cage was applied for statistical analysis of these variables. The experimental groups were: NC, negative control (non-treated, uninfected); PC, positive control (non-treated, infected); SAL, salinomycin supplemented diet, infected (60 mg/kg of diet); Pro, probiotic supplemented diet, infected (1 g/kg of diet); ECSe, vitamin-selenium supplemented diet, infected (a combination of 200 IU vitamin E, 250 mg vitamin C, and 0.2 mg selenium per kg of diet); FAE200, Ferulago angulate extract supplemented diet, infected (200 mg/kg of diet); FAE400, Ferulago angulate extract supplemented diet, infected (400 mg/kg of diet)
