Effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on chicken growth and development. A FMT promoted the weight gain of chickens. B Breast muscle and leg muscle weight on the 30th and 60th day. C Breast muscle and leg muscle indices on the 30th and 60th day. D Comparison of the jejunum length on the 30th and 60th day. E The difference of jejunum epithelial morphology of FMT and control group chickens on the 30th day. Scale bars = 500 μm. F The difference in jejunum villus height between FMT and control group chickens on the 30th day. G The difference of jejunum epithelial morphology of FMT and control group chickens on the 60th day. Scale bars = 500 μm. H The difference in jejunum villus height between FMT and control group chickens on the 60th day. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01.
