Impact of Intestinal Microbiota on Growth Performance of Suckling and Weaned Piglets.

Nevertheless, we did observe more nominally significant and statistically significant differences in the relative abundance of bacterial taxa in the postweaning piglets and sows, respectively, between two types of farms.

Overall, we established an increasing trend in gut microbiota α-diversity in the growing piglets until the age of 6 weeks, which is consistent with previous studies ( 21 – 23 ).

Somewhat surprisingly, the differences in the overall gut microbiota and the relative abundance of bacterial taxa between the two types of farm did not reach statistical significance despite that farm type 1 had the best growth after weaning ( Table 1 ).
