Background  Stress causes inflammation that impairs intestinal barrier function. Dietary spray-dried plasma (SDP) has recognized anti-inflammatory effects and improvement of gut barrier function. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary SDP on intestinal morphology of mated female mice under stress condition.    Results  Villus height, width, and area of small intestines were low on gestation day (GD) 3 or 4 under stress conditions, and higher later (Time,  P  < 0.05). Crypt depth of colon was low on GD 4 and higher later (Time,  P  < 0.05). Meanwhile, the SDP treatments improved ( P  < 0.05) intestinal morphology, indicated by increased villus height, villus width, villus area, and ratio between villus height and crypt depth of small intestines and crypt depth of colon, and by decreased crypt depth of small intestines, compared with the control diet. The SDP treatments also increased ( P  < 0.05) the number of goblet cells in intestines compared with the control diet. There were no differences between different levels of SDP.    Conclusion  Dietary SDP improves intestinal morphology of mated female mice under stress condition.
