Figure 5.

Boxplots showing the abundances of the taxonomic groups at genus level in the ileal chymus (IC) and ileal mucosa (IM) as affected by the dietary treatments and age of birds. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA and the Tukey multiple-comparisons test. Results with an adjusted p-value below 0.05 (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; were considered statistically significant and results between 0.05 and 0.1 (0.05 < p < 0.10) were considered a trend (T). Dots represent the outlier values.
