(A) Box plots showing the Shannon index of microbial communities sampled in 21 day-old broilers fed a basal diet with no treatment (CON), synbiotic (SYNBIO), yeast-based probiotic (YEAST) or single-strain formulations composed of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (SINGLE1), B. subtilis (SINGLE2), and B. licheniformis (SINGLE3). Panel (B) illustrates the diversity index of microbiota in ceca of 42-days-old broilers.
