At 1-42 days of age, the experimental birds fed the experimental diets containing probiotic , organic acid mixture (a commercial mixture of formic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid and orthophosphate acid) or the both the above supplements. The type of the dietary supplement did not affect broiler chickens performance. The birds received diet containing both the probiotic and organic acid mixture the villi height increased and the epithelium thickness and goblet cell numbers decreased and the crypt depth increased. The results of the present study showed the positive effects of organic acids on villi height and favorite effects of both supplements on reduction of small intestine epithelial thickness, but these observed intestinal morphological differences did not have significant affect on broiler chickens performance. %> http://rap.sanru.ac.ir/article-1-120-en.pdf %P 25-34 %& 25 %! %9 Research %L A-10-1-12 %+ University of Mohaghegh Ardebili %G eng %@ 2251-8622 %[ 2013
