Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sodium butyrate supplementation on the development of intestinal villi and crypts of Lieberkühn in guinea pigs during the fattening period. A total of 45 male guinea pigs of 14 days of age (weaning age) were distributed in five treatments with nine repetitions per treatment: T1 was the control, T2 received zinc-bacitracin (200 ppm), and T3, T4 and T5 were supplemented with 100, 200 and 300 ppm of sodium butyrate respectively. The length and width of the villi, crypt of Lieberkühn depth and villus length and crypt depth ratio (L/D) in the duodenum, jejunumand ileum were evaluated at 84 days of age. In the length of intestinal villi, the duodenum T5 (0.812 mm) was larger than T1 (0.701 mm), ...
