Photomicrograph of transverse section of jejunum from control group of broilers showed the villus height 60.13 micrometer while the crypt depth is 13.87 micrometer (HandE stain. 10X).
Photomicrograph of transverse section of jejunum in STV 10g/kg broiler showed the villus height was 74 micrometers while the crypt depth was 15.67 micrometer (HandE stain. 10X).
Photomicrograph of transverse section of jejenum in STV 20g/kg broiler showed the villus height was 88.87 micrometer while the crypt depth was 19.4 micrometer (HandE stain. 10X).
Photomicrograph of transverse section of jejenum in STV 30g/kg broiler showed the villus height was 98.93 micrometer while the crypt depth was 19.8 micrometer (HandE stain. 10X).
