Diversity measures of cecal microbiota of chickens. (A) Alpha diversity comparisons of cecal microbiota of chickens. (B) Non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (NMDS) plot illustrating the chicken cecal microbiome beta-diversity among treatments, and AMOVA p-values demonstrating significant differences in the centroid of clouds of treatments in the NMDS plot, where significant differences were considered at a P < 0.05.
