Influence of dietary sodium butyrate and lincomycin on deep litter 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 0–15 d 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. Significance was set at P ≤ 0.05. Number of litter samples (N) = 5 litter samples/group
