Principal coordinate analysis of microbial genera. Genus level data were applied for beta diversity profiling in a principal coordinate analysis plot using Bray-Curtis Index for the distance method, combined day and type as experimental factor, and PERMANOVA statistics. Each point represents a rectal swab or milk sample for each mare-foal pair, noted as Horse. Based on the key, type and day for each sample is noted (M, mare’s milk; S, foal rectal swab; days post-foaling are accompanying numbers); n = 234 samples presented (117 milk and 117 swab). The milk and swab samples cluster over the first five days, and then swab samples segregate from mare’s milk samples
