Influence of dietary sodium butyrate and lincomycin on caecal bacterial counts of broiler chickens (day 35). T1: Control - basal diet; T2: Butirex C4 1 kg/mt in starter feed (0–15 d) and then 0.500 kg/mt in grower and finisher feed; T3: Lincomix recommended dose (100 g) without Butirex C4; T4: Lincomix half the recommended dose (50 g) + Butirex C4 0.5 kg/mt at 0-15d and then 0.250 kg/mt; T5: Lincomix half the recommended dose (50 g) + Butirex C4 1 kg/mt at 0–15 d and then 0.500 kg/mt. Data shown above boxplots represent means. * Asterisks indicate significance at P ≤ 0.05. Number of sampled birds (N) = 5 birds/group
