Effects of dietary supplementation with different biological feed additives on the Intestinal physical barrier function. (A) Histomorphology of the jejunum in laying hens. (B) The relative mRNA expressions of ZO-1, Claudin-1, Occludin and MUC-2 were analyzed by real-time qPCR. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 3). Different lowercase letters indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05). ZO-1: zonula occluden 1; MUC-2: mucin-2. (C) Transmission electron micrographs of the jejunum microvilli in laying hens
