Effects of feed additives on alpha diversity.
Data are presented as mean ± SE (n = 3 per treatment). (A) Observed OTUs, (B) Chao1, and (C) Shannon index in microbiomes after incubation. Different superscripts (abc) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). CON = non-supplementation; FAL = 2.25% DM calcium salt of long-chain fatty acid supplementation; FAH = 4.50% DM calcium salt of long-chain fatty acid supplementation; FUM = fumarate supplementation; MON = monensin supplementation.
