It is well known that nutritional factors, including bioactive substances and fiber fractions, may have an impact on the development, structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract, intestinal microflora composition as well as synthesis of putrefactive compounds, such as ammonia or biogenic amines. The study was conducted to determine the effect of lignocellulose supplemented diet on small intestine morphology and ileal biogenic amines (BA) content in broiler chickens. A total of 48, 21-day-old male Ross 308 chickens were divided into four groups. From 21 to 42 d of age, the broilers were fed experimental diets varied in the amount of lignocellulose: 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1%. In chickens fed a diet with 0.5% lignocellulose there was shortening of the villi (p |
