Gut microbial diversity, which was estimated using the Shannon (t = 3.375, P = 0.001) and Simpson (t = 2.757, P = 0.008) indices, was significantly lower at ES compared to that at BS; however, Chao1 (t = 1.946, P > 0.05) and Ace (t = 1.898, P > 0.05) indices used to estimate richness showed a trend similar to that of the Shannon and Simpson indices but without statistical significance.
