NMDS plots of the microbiota. NMDS of the microbiota based on unweighted (a) and weighted (b) UniFrac distance matrices of OTUs. Circles, squares, and triangles show each sample at farms a, b and c, respectively. The samples are indicated by different colors: red (weeks 1–2, starter feed, and farm a), green (weeks 3–4, grower feed, and farm b), and blue (weeks 5–6, finisher feed, and farm c). A 95% confidence ellipse is shown for each subgroup
