Effect of growth stage and antibiotic treatment on the bacterial community composition and diversity of poultry cloacal swab and litter. A, B Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plots of poultry microbiomes using Bray–Curtis distance matrices, based on A cloacal swab and litter metagenomes (stress = 0.13), and B 16S rRNA gene amplicons from litter (stress = 0.10). C, D Chord diagrams depict the relative abundance of bacterial families in C cloacal swabs and D litter; unclassified taxa and bacterial families with relative abundance below 0.5% were grouped into “others.” The outer circle lists the sample names, where colors represent the sampling times, and the detected bacterial families. The connecting lines inside the circle link families to the samples, and the width of the lines is proportional to the relative abundance (%) of each family in the corresponding samples
