Note: SEM is standard error of mean. n = 8 indicating the data was analyzed in 8 pigs per treatment. 1 CTR: control; CTC-ZnO: chlortetracycline + zinc oxide; LY: live yeast; LY-ZnO: live yeast + zinc oxide. Sobs: diversity index; Shannon: Shannon diversity index; Simpson: Simpson diversity index; Ace: Ace diversity index; Chao: bacterial community index.
