(a) Shannon and (b) Simpson diversity indices calculated on the level of Species taxonomic rank. For all eight pigs the corresponding Shannon and Simpson diversity indices on the level of Species rank were calculated and depicted. The tendency observed in Figs. 1 and 2 changed on the Species level – the highest microbial diversity was observed after the administration of the garlic extract (group A). For the definitions of Shannon and Simpson indices see formulas (1) and (2) respectively
