16S rRNA data of bacteria in mice intestinal contents Raw sequence reads
To study the efficacy of these extracts in animals, 120 mice were divided into four treatments by body weight. Each treatment included 6 cages, with 5 mice per cage. Control (CN) group, the groupsC1(AB), C2 (AI) and C3 were given C1, C2, and C3, respectively. The experiment lasted for 21d. The body weight of each mouse and feed intake per cage were measured every 3d. Growth performance index, including body weight gain, feed intake, and feed to gain, were calculated. At the end of this feeding experiment, 6 mice from each treatment (CN, AB and AI) were selected and euthanized, and the colonic contents were collected immediately. 16S rRNA gene was sequenced using the Illumina Miseq platform (Novogene, Beijing, China).
