FIG 3.
Analysis of the microbial community in porcine digesta samples from different regions of the small and large intestines. Results are presented as the averages for 5 animals ± SEMs for the ileum, cecum, and feces and the averages for 4 animals ± SEMs for colon samples. Within those bacterial groups for which the effect of tissue was significant (P < 0.05, ANOVA), the results for tissues that do not share a letter at the top were statistically significantly different (P < 0.05).
