Effects of dietary metabolizable energy and crude protein levels on production performance, serum biochemical indices and cecal microbiota of Taihe Silky Fowl during the brooding period.

Among them, there was a highly significant difference in the abundance of Bacteroides between the MME group and the HME group ( P < 0.01) ( Fig. 3 C, 3 D, 3 F).

The α-diversity analysis of Shannon and Sobs indices indicated that with the increase in dietary ME level, the richness and diversity of the cecal microbiota showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing ( Fig, 2 A; 2B), and the Shannon index of the LME group was significantly higher than that of the MME group ( P < 0.05).
