Effects of dietary CPCMP supplementation on the intestinal microflora of broilers at 42 d. (A) Rarefaction curve analysis of the number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs). (B) Total OTU analysis. (C) Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) based on the unweighted (left) and weighted (right) UniFrac metric. (D) Principal component analysis (PCA). A, BC (blank control) group (basal diet); B, CPCMP group (basal diet supplemented with 0.2% Chinese medicine–probiotic compound microecological preparation); C, PC (positive control) group (basal diet supplemented with 0.0035% chlortetracycline); D, commercial CPCMP group (basal diet supplemented with 0.2% commercially available CPCMP); E, TCM group (basal diet supplemented with 0.2% fermented traditional Chinese medicines); F, Probiotics group (basal diet supplemented with 0.2% compound probiotics). (n = 5; 5 replicates/treatment, 1 broiler/replicate).
