Effects of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on the microbial communities in the jejunum of recipient chickens. A The comparison of jejunal microbiota diversity (Shannon index) between the FMT and control groups. B The comparison of jejunal microbiota richness (Chao index) between the FMT and control groups. C At the genus level, the comparison of relative abundance of Lactobacillus between the FMT and control groups. D The comparison of relative abundance of Lactobacillus, Gardnerella, g_norank_f_Actinomycetaceae, and other bacteria between the FMT and control groups. LDA score ≥ 2. **P < 0.01. FMT, fecal microbiota transplantation group (n = 10); Con, control group (n = 10)
