The composition of the cecal microbiota in Cobb broilers at phylum level. General composition of the cecal microbiota in Cobb broilers across different ages, from control groups, not exposed to specific treatments. The data is from four different studies, based on 16S rRNA 454 pyrosequencing (PS), n = 3 and MiSeq sequencing n = 1. Pedroso et al. (2016), Figure 7, stacked bar chart A was used. Mohd Shaufi et al. (2015), Figure 4, the last four bars were used. Singh et al. (2013), the data from Figure 1 was used. Stanley et al. (2013), the data from MG-RAST was used to combine the data from Figure 6.
