The mean body weights of birds before and after the C. perfringens challenge experiment. Birds were individually weighted at 5-day intervals from day 24 to 34. There were no significant statistical differences in mean body weight gains between vaccinated and control birds before the challenge experiment (data not shown). Birds immunized orally with LC-α vaccine strain showed significant body weight gains during the challenge experiment compared with control birds (P < 0.0001). Each value indicates mean ± SEM. Asterisk represents significant statistical difference compared with control birds (P < 0.0001). All data were analyzed in triplicate
