Relative abundance and diversity of gut microbiota. a The abundance of different genera in the negative control (NC) and Salmonella Typhimurium infected (INF) treatment groups from week 1 to week 7 post infection. b Comparative analysis of alpha diversity between NC and INF groups from week 1 to week 7 post infection using Shannon index. The relative abundance levels were calculated in Calypso software and the data were visualised in GraphPad Prism v.8.0.0. Asterisks (*, ** and ***) show P values at 0.01, 0.001 and 0.0001 respectively
