Figure 1. Scatter plot showing the associations between the microbiome composition of pigs during early life (0-7 days), immediately pre-weaning (21 days), and after weaning (100 days). The largest shift is observed between pre-weaning and post-weaning samples. Alpha diversity is at its peak after weaning (shown as “microbiome diversity”).
