Fig. 2

Oregano aqueous extract (OAE) modulated gut microbiota and SCFAs (Exp. 1). Alpha (A) and Beta (B) diversity analysis of cecum microbiota from broilers. Beta diversity analysis with principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) was based on the unweighted UniFrac distance. Relative abundance of microbiota at the phylum (C) and genus (D) level. Short-chain fatty acid content of cecal digesta (E). Data are expressed as means ± standard deviation. a−cTreatments with no common superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05). PCoA, Principal coordinate analysis; SCFA, Short-chain fatty acid
