FIG 3.
Composition of and differences in intestinal microbes at the phylum level. (A) Microbial composition of the cecum at the phylum level; (B) differential expression of microbes in different groups; (C) microbial composition of the colon at the phylum level. The data are means ± SD. *, 0.01 < P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. CCe, cecum of the control; MSCe, cecum of the mulberry silage group; PMSCe, cecum of the paper mulberry silage group; CCo, colon of the control; MSCo, colon of the mulberry silage group; PMSCo, colon of the paper mulberry silage group. One sample was randomly selected from each replicate in same treatment (i.e., 4 samples in cecum and 4 samples in colon per treatment [n = 4]).
