The abundance of microbial community in cecal contents of broilers at d 42. (A, D, G) The top 10 relative abundance of microflora community between groups (level phylum, level genus, and level species) reveal by the histogram. (D–C, E, F, H, I) The bacteria with significant differences between groups (level phylum, level class, level genus and level species) indicate by histogram. CON = basal diet provided as the control; BS = basal diet supplemented with 1.5 × 10⁹CFU/kg B. subtilis; BL = basal diet supplemented with 1.5 × 10⁹CFU/kg B. licheniformis. Bars represent mean ± SD (n = 8). Bars represent mean ± SD (n = 8). *Means different (P < 0.05), **means significant difference (P < 0.01).
