Microbiota composition at the genus level for the 15 most abundant genera in cecal digesta of broilers of 9 d of live receiving control diet (CTR) or the same diet supplemented with Muramidase (MUR). Results are expressed as relative abundance (% ± SE) by diet. No statistical differences were found between experimental diets.
