Figure 3 Alpha diversity of gut microflora in the 4 groups at day10. (A) Abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE) index. (B) Chao1 index. N - the N group (No-probiotics and No-antibiotics); A – the A group (antibiotics); P – the P group (probiotics); AP – the AP group (antibiotics+probiotics). Day10 – Ten days after birth. NS – means no statistical differences. ** P<0.01.
