Longitudinal changes in the swine gut microbiome structure at different growth stages. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plots based on the Bray-Curtis distances showed distinct clusters in the test trial (a), the control group (b), the fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) group (c) of the validation trial, and all the groups combined (d). Lactation, nursery, growing, and finishing stages are differentiated by colors (blue, purple, green, and red, respectively) and shapes (square, circle, diamond, and triangle, respectively). The pig donor in the FMT group is indicated with a yellow diamond. Samples with same color densities were collected on the same day
