PCoA and class and genus level classification of caecal microbiomes from chicken breeds and lines reared at locations 1 and 2 (Anand and Tamil Nadu). Only sequencing reads produced using primer P2 were used for this analysis. a PCoA using the Bray-Curtis method in PAST. b Box plot indicating differences in the ranked distances in each group (see Additional file 10 for the pairwise comparison of P values by ANOSIM). c, d abundance of bacteria in the caeca of chicken lines at class and genus level respectively. Only classes and genera with abundance > 1.0% in any of the chicken lines was plotted. A-, C-, R- and K- represent the Aseel, Cobb400, Ross 308 and Kadaknath chicken breeds/lines respectively. -A sampled at location 1 in Anand, -T sampled at location 2 in Tamil Nadu
