Fig. 1

Effects of LPS treatments on the growth performance of SD rats (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01). A – body weight, B – ADG, I – between days 26 and 29, II – between days 29 and 32, III – between days 32 and 35, IV – between days 35 and 38

Fig. 2

Effects of LPS treatments on lymphoid organ indexes of SD rats. A – spleen weight, B – thymus weight, C – the ratio of spleen to body, D – the ratio of thymus to body. The following symbols indicates significant changes in lymphoid organ indexes (P < 0.05): * spleen and thymus differences between LPS and control group on the same days, $ – LPS treatment for day 29 versus LPS treatment for days 32, 35, and 38, # – LPS treatment for day 32 versus LPS treatment for days 35 and 38, % – LPS treatment for day 35 versus LPS treatment for day 38

Effects of LPS treatments on blood parameters of SD rats. A – white blood cells, B – red blood cells, C – lymphocytes, D – lymphocyte percentage, E – neutrophils, F – neutrophil percentage, G – haemoglobin, H – platelets. * means the same as in Fig. 2
