Fig. 3From: Supplementing the early diet of broilers with soy protein concentrate can improve intestinal development and enhance short-chain fatty acid-producing microbes and short-chain fatty acids, especially butyric acidEffects of SPC supplementation in the starter diet on the diversity of caecal microorganisms of broilers. The values in the histogram are individual sample values from maximum to minimum (n = 8), *P < 0.05.
