Figure 2From: Successional changes in the chicken cecal microbiome during 42 days of growth are independent of organic acid feed additivesRelative abundance at the genus level for sequences by treatment and time with taxonomic classifications performed with the RDP classifier as described in the text. Only sequences with a total relative abundance greater than 5% are shown. For day-of-hatch birds and each subsequent time point (7d, 21d, and 42 d post-hatch), the relative proportions are shown for each treatment. Day-of-hatch birds were proportionally high in Clostridium but low quantitatively as shown in Figure 3. Treatment designations are Ctl, control; FO, feed-only; WO, water-only; and FW, feed and water as described in the text.Back to article page
