Temporal changes in RIR and VALO chicken’s colon microbiota. a The number of observed bacteria taxa (OTUs) at different time points. b Faith's phylogenetic diversity at different time. c Shannon indices at different time points. Kruskal Wallis pairwise statistics were used to assess differences in community richness; *p ≤ 0.05. Colon samples were collected at day 7 of age, day 14, day 21, day 28 and day 32 of age. Major changes in alpha diversity indices were seen in 14 days interval, especially between day 7 and day 21 of age
