  1. Note: The criteria for morbidity were as follows: (1) wheezing or dyspnea, (2) swinging of the head, and (3) feathers erected and dullness. The presence of any of these criteria can be used to evaluate morbidity. The morbidity and mortality among the four experimental groups are indicated with different lowercase letters and differ significantly based on χ2 analysis (p < 0.05).
