Effects of cecal microbiota transplantation on cecal microbial profiles of recipient chickens at week 5 and week 16 (n = 7). A Faith’s PD index, values are median ± SEM, *Indicates significant differences (P ≤ 0.05), and # shows trend differences (0.05 < P ≤ 0.1). B Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of Unweighted UniFrac of recipient chickens at week 5 and week 16. Each dot represents one bird (n = 7), PCo1 and PCo2 represent the percentage of variance explained by each coordinate. C Cecal microbial composition profiles of the recipient chickens at phylum and family (relative abundance > 1%) levels. 63-CMT, received cecal content solution from 63 donors; 72-CMT, received cecal content solution from 72 donors; CTRL, received saline, control
