Effects of combined plant essential oils supplementation on the relative abundances of intestinal probiotics.
| Probiotics | CON | POC | AGP | SEM | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lactobacillus | 9.97 | 10.63 | 9.51 | 0.34 | 0.413 |
| Butyricicoccus | 9.63 | 10.33 | 9.64 | 0.17 | 0.148 |
| Streptococcus | 6.19b | 7.69a | 4.23c | 0.53 | 0.028 |
| Bifidobacterium | 0.13c | 1.50a | 0.63b | 0.11 | 0.047 |
Sequences relative abundances were transformed using log2.
a,b,cMeans (n = 8) within a row with different letters differed significantly (P < 0.05).
Abbreviations: AGP, the Aureomycin supplementation treatment; CON, the control treatment; POC, the combined plant essential oils treatment.
