The combined use of PC facilitated the metabolism of BC in the ileal microbiota. A Genus-level phylogenetic tree, where the inner circle represents genus-level bacteria, and the outer circle indicates their relative abundances. B LEfSe analysis was performed on the CON, BC, PC, and BC + PC groups, with an Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) score cutoff of  > 4. C Relative abundances of genera were analyzed using ANOVA, and data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 8). ^a–cMeans with different superscripts within the same row are significantly different (P < 0.05)
