Fig. 1From: Oat bran and wheat bran impact net energy by shaping microbial communities and fermentation products in pigs fed diets with or without xylanaseEffects of fiber type, fiber level and xylanase addition on the richness and diversity of microbial communities in growing pigs. a Chao 1 index of bacterial community between OB and WB and between HFG and LFG. b Shannon index of bacterial community between OB and WB and between HFG and LFG. c Chao 1 index of bacterial community in pigs fed experimental diets. d Shannon index of bacterial community in pigs fed experimental diets. The results were analyzed by Welch’s t-test and presented as mean values. OB, oat bran-based diets; WB, wheat bran-based diets; HFG, diet containing 36% OB and diet containing 27% WB (without enzyme); LFG, diets containing 15% OB or 12% WB (without enzyme). HOBNE, HOBE, HWBNE, HWBE, LOBNE, LOBE, LWBNE, and LWBE mean diets containing 36% OB without enzyme, 36% OB with enzyme, 27% WB without enzyme, 27% WB with enzyme, 15% OB without enzyme, 15% OB with enzyme, 12% WB without enzyme, and 12% WB with enzyme, respectivelyBack to article page
