Figure 1. Effect of dietary starch to fat ratios on caecal Clostridium perfringens counts (log10 cfu/g) during days 21–23. Boxplots with medians indicated by horizontal lines and means indicated by diamonds. Based on samples from 36 chickens per diet. HS: high starch to fat ratio diet; LS: low starch to fat ratio diet. cfu/g = colony forming units per gram
