Comparison of the Intestinal Microbial Community in Ducks Reared Differently through High-Throughput Sequencing

Figure 4

Comparison of the microfloral microbial diversity index (Chao1, ACE, Simpson Shannon, and Coverage) between two duck groups. Alpha-diversity analysis of microbiota of the two groups was compared according to the microfloral microbial diversity index (Chao1, ACE, Simpson Shannon, and Coverage) between two duck groups. Ducks in CC groups had free access to swimming, while birds in CT group were reserved to land (ρ<0.05; ρ<0.01 for Student’s t-test).
