Fig. 4From: Comparing microbiotas of foals and their mares’ milk in the first two weeks after birthDistribution of microbial phyla. Changes in abundance were seen across the twelve predominant phyla: (A) Actinobacteria, (B) Bacteroidota, (C) Campylobacterota, (D) Cyanobacteria, (E) Desulfobacterota, (F) Euryarcheota, (G) Fibrobacterota, (H) Firmicutes, (I) Fusobacteriota, (J) Protobacteria, (K) Spirochaetota, and (L) Verrucomicrobiota. n = 13–15 mare’s milk and rectal swab sets; mixed-effects model (Sample Type x Day) matched with repeated measures with Tukey’s multiple comparison tests as padjusted: a, milk vs. swab contrast p < 0.05; b, swab vs. Day 1 swab p < 0.05; c, milk vs. Day 1 milk p < 0.05Back to article page
