Fig. 1

Influence of dietary sodium butyrate and lincomycin on mRNA relative expression level of IGF gene (growth-related gene) in both breast and thigh muscles of broiler chickens. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. Groups having different letters are significantly different from each other at P ≤ 0.05. Groups having similar letters are non-significantly different from each other at P ≤ 0.05. T1: Control - basal diet; T2: Butirex C4 1 kg/ton in starter feed (0–15 d) and then 0.5 kg/ton in grower and finisher feed; T3: Lincomix recommended dose (100 g/ton); T4: Lincomix half the recommended dose (50 g/ton) + Butirex C4 0.5 kg/ton at 0–15 d and then 0.25 kg/ton; T5: Lincomix half the recommended dose (50 g/ton) + Butirex C4 1 kg/ton at 0–15 d and then 0.5 kg/ton. Number of sampled birds (N) = 5 birds/group
