The results showed a significant (p≤0.05) superiority in Histological and microbial count of birds that were fed sodium citrate and reared at different densities. compared to the control treatment (without addition). An improvement was observed in Total and Lacto bacteria within the parts of the intestine represented by the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, as well as in the length and thickness of the villi and the depth of the crypts of the parts of the intestine represented by the duodenum, jejunum and ileum compared to the control treatment.
