Fig. 4From: Dietary supplemental coated essential oils and organic acids mixture improves growth performance and gut health along with reduces Salmonella load of broiler chickens infected with Salmonella EnteritidisRelative abundance of cecal microbial composition of broiler chickens from different treatment groups. (a) Composition of caecal microbiota of the broilers at the phylum level, (b) Composition of caecal microbiota of the broilers at the genus level, (c) Differential cecal microbiota at different taxa levels among different groups. Asterisks (∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01) indicate statistical differences between the treatment group. A: broiler chickens with basal diet and no infection, B: broiler chickens with basal diet and SE infection, BM: broiler chickens with basal diet supplemented with 500 mg/kg EOA and SE infection, BH: broiler chickens with basal diet supplemented with 800 mg/kg EOA and SE infection. EOA: coated essential oils and organic acids mixture. SE Salmonella EnteritidisBack to article page
