Dietary TH altered the composition of gut microbiota at the genus level in Jinhua yellow chickens. (A) Relative abundance of gut microbiota at the genus level (top30 genera were shown). (B) LEfSe analysis of gut microbiota between the treatments at the genus level. (C) STAMP reveal the differences of main microbial functions predicted by PICRUSt at level 2 between the CON group and TH-treated groups. (D) Relative abundance of differential gut microbiota between the treatments at the genus level. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 6. Asterisk indicates significant differences according to the unpaired t-test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).
