Phylogenetic diversity of the cecal microbiota of the six different experimental groups. a The phylogenetic diversity (OTU level) was higher in the ceca of broilers fed +MCFA in H2 and H3 but not in H1. The phylogenetic diversity was highest in H1 and lowest in H3. (n = 35 broilers per group, Kruskal-Wallis, * = p < 0.05–0.01, ** = p < 0.01–0.001, *** = p < 0.001). b Phylogenetic diversity was different between a subset of pens within the same diet intervention (n = 7 broilers per pen)
