a Estimation of the equilibrium condition and the tibia parameters in the thiram induced and Ex-FABP supplementing broiler chicken on days 6 and 15. Ex-FABP was injected in group A, B, and C (0, 20, 50 μg^·kg⁻¹ respectively), D, E, and F (0, 20, 50 μg^·kg⁻¹ respectively). Whereas groups D, E, and F gave a diet containing 100 mg^.kg⁻¹ thiram. ^a–f indicates significant differences (P < 0.05). (A) Estimation of the equilibrium condition, (B) tibial dyschondroplasia occurrence score, (C) measurement of growth plate width, (D) measurement of growth plate midline-diameter, (E) measurement of the tibia to toe length, (F) measurement of tibia length. b The clinical and pathological changes in the thiram induced and Ex-FABP supplementing broiler chicken groups of days 6 and 15. Ex-FABP was injected in group A, B, and C (0, 20, 50 μg^·kg⁻¹ respectively), D, E, and F (0, 20, 50 μg^·kg⁻¹ respectively). Whereas groups D, E, and F were given a diet containing 100 mg^.kg⁻¹ thiram. BV, blood vessels; GP, growth plate; TDL, tibial dyschondroplasia lesions; AC, articular cartilage
