Fig. 3From: Medicinal herb extracts ameliorate impaired growth performance and intestinal lesion of newborn piglets challenged with the virulent porcine epidemic diarrhea virusEffects of the oral PEDV challenge and administration of the MYCI mixture on intestinal morphology of newborn piglets (100× magnification). Newborn piglets received a challenge with 3 × 103.5TCID50 of PEDV in PBS or PBS only and daily administration of 60 mg of the MYCI mixture suspended in milk replacer or the vehicle for 7 days. Note the atrophied and fused villi as well as crypt hyperplasia in the challenged/control group and the alleviation of the atrophy and fusion of the villi and the crypt hyperplasia in the challenged/MYCI group compared with the morphology in the former. Only representative results are shown in this figureBack to article page
