Effect of sample source (chicken cloacal swab and litter), growth stage, and antibiotic treatment on ARG composition and diversity. A Boxplot of the number of unique ARGs detected in cloacal swab and litter environments. B Venn diagram of shared and unique ARGs among cloacal swab and litter environments. C NMDS plot of the poultry resistome based on Bray–Curtis distance matrices (stress = 0.04). D, E Chord diagrams depict the relative abundance of ARGs in D cloacal swabs and E litter; the ARG types with relative abundance of less than 0.5% were grouped into “others.” The outmost circle lists the name of poultry samples, where colors represent sampling times, and detected ARG types. The connecting lines inside the circle links ARG types to the samples and the width of the lines is proportional to the relative abundance (%) of each ARG type in the corresponding samples. ***p < 0.001 by non-parametric t-test
