Microbiome analysis of faecal samples from S. pullorum-infected chicks treated with or without Artemisia argyi essential oil. A PCoA analysis of the gut microbiota of healthy (NC), S. pullorum-infected (SP) and chicks treated with 100 mg/kg/day of Artemisia argyi essential oil and SP infection chicks (EOH), data were analysed using unweighted UniFrac (n = 6). B Comparative analysis of gut microbial OTUs of NC, SP, and EOH group chicks (n = 6). C The top 5 species at the phylum levels among different groups (n = 6). D The top 10 species at the genus levels among different groups (n = 6). E, F Differential caecal microbiota at genus levels among different groups (n = 6). NC: Uninfected chicks, SP: Chicks infected with S. pullorum (SP), EOH: Supplementation of 100 mg/kg/day Artemisia argyi essential oil (EOH) and S. pullorum-infected chicks.
