Figure Lengend Snippet: Microbiota of broiler cecum on the 5th day of infection. (A) Rarefaction curves of OTUs. (B) Venn diagram. (C, D) Alpha diversity comparison (Chao1 index and Shannon index). (E) UPGMA clustering tree based on weighted Unifrac distances at the phylum level. Relative abundance of species in the top 10 of the intestinal flora at the phylum (F) , genus (G) and species level (H) . (I) The histogram of the distribution of LDA values (LDA scores >4). (J) Heatmap depicting the relative abundance of 35 dominant microbiota genera at the genus level. All data are expressed as the mean ± SD. The results are presented as the mean ± SD. “*” stands for the comparison with NC; * P < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA.
