Antimicrobial resistance gene expression increases with AGP supplementation. Top panel: violin plots showing distribution of ranks of the expression values of 179 CARD genes for each sample type (1st (highest) rank = highest expression across all cecal samples). With the exception of day 40 wheat samples, CARD genes exhibit significantly higher rankings of expression in samples from birds fed AGPs relative to controls (** = p < 0.01 two-sample paired t-test). Lower panel: change in ranking of 179 CARD genes (ranked across all cecal samples) in day 24 wheat samples upon supplementation with AGPs
