Fig. 6From: 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 EnteritidisPICRUSt metagenome inference analysis based on 16S rRNA dataset: (a) A vs. B, (b) B vs. BM, and (c) B vs. BH. (a–c) Prediction of significant KEGG pathways (level 3) that were differentially regulated in SE-infected group compared to non-infected group (P < 0.05). Mean proportion of functional pathways is illustrated with bar plots and dot plots indicate the differences in mean proportions between two groups based on P-values obtained from two-sided Welch’s t-test. 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, KEGG: Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes, SE: Salmonella EnteritidisBack to article page
