a Effect of antibiotic and fermented feed on duodenum, jejunum, and ileum in broiler chicken. Negative control (NC), Positive control (Antibiotic) (PC), Fermented feed (low dose) (FFL), Fermented feed (high dose) (FFH). Values with different superscripts in the same row differ (P < 0.05). Different color bar plots showing different groups. n = 6 replicates per treatment. b Effect of antibiotic and fermented feed on small intestine’s (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) morphology in broiler chicken. Negative control (NC), Positive control (Antibiotic) (PC), Fermented feed (low dose) (FFL), Fermented feed (high dose) (FFH). The gross and microscopic views of different parts of chickens’ intestine in treatment groups and control group. The intestine parts duodenum, jejunum, and ileum sections were used. Histology was assessed for intestine sections embedded in paraffin – sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. n = 6 chicken per treatment
