a Establishment of the FMT model. b Bray–Curtis distance-based PCoA estimates for the GM of the CON (blue), TD (red), FMT-TD (green) and FMT-Con (purple) groups. c, d The top ten phyla in the GM in terms of abundance. The top 20 most abundant GM at the genus level. e, f Differential abundances of F/B ratios by phylum. g GLU levels in plasma (n = 5 broilers per group). h, i GLUT8 and GLUT12 mRNA expression levels in the pancreas (n = 3 broilers per group). FMT faecal microbiota transplantation, GLU glucose. A significant difference was defined as a p value less than 0.05 calculated using a two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test. The data are presented as the means ± SD.
