Alpha diversity indices of colon microbiota compared for two divergent chicken lines, RIR and VALO. a The number of observed bacteria taxa (OTUs) at different time points post infection. b Faith's phylogenetic diversity at different time points post infection. c Shannon indices at different time points post infection. Colon samples were collected pre-challenge, at day 0 of experiment, (D0) and day 3 (D3) and day 14 post challenge (D14). Chickens were challenge with recombinant A/chicken/Pakistan/UDL01/08 H9N2 LPAIV. Kruskal Wallis pairwise statistics were used to assess differences in community richness; * p ≤ 0.05
