Effects of the phytase and Ca/P levels on ileal microbiota in broiler chickens (log cfu/ml digesta).

DAPI – total number of bacteria; BACTO – Bacteroides – Prevotella cluster; CPREF – Clostridium perfringens; ENTER – Enterobacteriaceae; LAB – Lactobacillus sp./Enterococcus sp.; CLEPT – Clostridium leptum subgroup; STRC – Streptococcus/Lactococcus; EREC – Clostridium coccoides—Eubacterium rectale cluster; BIF – Bifidobacterium sp.PC – positive control (diet adequate in Ca and dP levels); NC – negative control (diet with reduced Ca and dP levels by 0.14 and 0.13% respectively); PC + PHY / NC + PHY – positive/negative control supplemented with 5000 FTU of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) per 1kg of complete feedSEM—standard error of the meana-cWithin the same column, different superscripts indicate significant differences between treatments (PEffects of the phytase and Ca/P levels on ileal microbiota in broiler chickens (log cfu/ml digesta).
