Species and difference analysis of intestinal flora. (A) Relative abundance of gut microbiota at phylum level. (B) Relative abundance of gut microbiota at genus level. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) value distribution histogram (C) and cladogram (D) based on LEfSe analysis showed significant differences in the microbial community in the three groups. CON = normal diet; HELP = high-energy and low-protein diet; CH500 = 500 mg/kg coated sodium butyrate added to high-energy and low-protein diet.
