Gut microbiota composition of piglets on 14 d and 28 d of the experiment. (A) Boxplots of observed operational taxonomic units (OTUs) Chao 1 index, Shannon index, and Simpson indexfor the CON and CA groups piglets at 14 d and 28 d. Boxes show the medians and 10–90 percentile ranges. (B) The Bray-Curtis distance between samples of piglets in CON and CA group at 14 d and 28 d of the experiment was analyzed by Principal coordinate analysis.Interindividual variations were determined by average Bray-Curtis distance between individuals in the CON and CA group piglets. Intraindividual variations were determined by distance-paired CON and CA group piglets. *P < 0.05. (C) Wein diagram of gut microbiota composition of piglets in CON and CA groups on day 14 and 28 of the experiment
