Changes of microbial diversity in the cecum of broilers. A Venn diagram of the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) among all groups. B Cecum bacterial richness (Sob1, ACE and Chao1) and diversity (Shannon, Simpson and Pielou) were evaluated by unpaired t-test analysis. C The cluster dendrogram was drawn to reveal the distance between all samples. D Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) was conducted at the OTU level. E Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis was conducted at the OTU level. Stress = 0.074, P = 0.008. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 6). *P < 0.05
