| R | P-value | R2 | P-value | A | P-value | |
| Treatment | 0.212 | 0.047 | 0.200 | 0.044 | 0.035 | 0.059 |
| Control vs. BSC10 | 0.176 | 0.139 | 0.155 | 0.122 | 0.023 | 0.121 |

ANOSIM = analysis of similarities; PERMANOVA = permutational multivariate analysis of variance; MRPP = multi response permutation procedure.
Control: control group; BSC10: basal diet supplemented with Paenibacillus polymyxa 10 (1.0 × 108 CFU/kg feed); Lac16: basal diet supplemented with Lactobacillus plantarum 16 (1.0 × 108 CFU/kg feed).
