Fig. 3From: Hen raising helps chicks establish gut microbiota in their early life and improve microbiota stability after H9N2 challengeDifferences in the gut microbiota of chicks raised under different rearing patterns. A Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of the bacterial communities from the four reared group chicks and their hens. HC: hen cloacal swab; HF: hen feathers; HO: hen oropharyngeal. B–F LEfSe analysis generated differences in the abundance of the bacterial taxa of hen-reared groups (red) and separately reared group (green) chicks at different times (P < 0.05, LDA > 2)Back to article page
