1. Variations in genus-level Shannon diversity of offspring microbiota in fecal samples at 50 days of age (A) and ileal digesta at ~155 days of age (B) as a result of FMT in sows and/or offspring.
Variations in genus-level Shannon diversity of offspring microbiota in fecal samples at 50 days of age (A) and ileal digesta at ~155 days of age (B) as a result of FMT in sows and/or offspring. Data are from 36 pigs. At the sow treatment level, n = 18 offspring each from CON and FMTP sows. At the offspring treatment level, n = 12 each in CON, FMT1, and FMT4 treatment groups. *, significantly different (P ≤ 0.05) at the sow × offspring treatment level; φ, a sow treatment effect was seen (P ≤ 0.05); λ, an offspring treatment effect was seen (P ≤ 0.05).
