Effect of Lactulose (Vetelact) treatments (0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 ml/kg of body weight) in drinking water of laying hens on Photomicrograph small intestine (jejunum). Tissue stained by hematoxylin and eosin, Scale bar = 50 µm. A control group with normal intestinal crypts, glands (arrows), tunica muscularis layer of smooth muscle fiber (M). B group treated by 0.05 ml/kg, showing normal crypts (arrows) and thick well- developed muscle layer (M). C group treated by 0.1ml/kg showing improved intestinal crypts (arrows) and thick muscle layer (M). D a group treated by 0.15 ml/kg showing normal crypts (arrows) and muscle layer (M)
