Effects of rosemary extract on cecal microbiota structure and composition of laying hens. A OUT Venn. B Comparison of α-diversity indices. C Comparison of β-diversity indices. D Microbiota composition at the phylum level. E Microbiota composition at the family level. F Microbiota composition at the genus level. G Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) distribution, and the score > 2 means significant. H Cladogram of LEfSe shows taxonomic profiling from the phylum to genus level, the yellow node represents no difference, but other color nodes represent significant difference. I Differences in the cecal microbiota composition at the phylum level. J Differences in the cecal microbiota composition at the family level. K Differences in the cecal microbiota composition at the genus level. CON, control; CTC, 50 mg/kg chlortetracycline; RE200, 200 mg/kg rosemary extract. Values are shown as mean ± SEM, n = 6. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
