Figure 6

Final weight (3, 6, and 9 d) and weight gain in broilers supplemented in ovo with Thr and challenged with Salmonella Enteritidis posthatch at 24, 96, and 168-hour postinoculation (hpi). NT-SHAM: no in ovo Thr supplementation and sham-inoculated in the posthatch challenge; T-SHAM: in ovo Thr supplementation and sham-inoculated; NT-SE: no in ovo Thr supplementation and SE NalR-challenged; and T-SE: in ovo Thr supplementation and SE NalR-challenged. The error bars represent the standard deviation.
