Fig 5. Effect of onset of Salmonella shedding on changes in fecal microbiome in dairy cattle between -3 and -1 weeks relative to parturition.

Bacterial names at phyla-level and Salmonella onset status (yes, no) indicated on the x-axis. The box shows the range, and the included bar represents the median difference in bacterial phyla between both time points. Numerical differences were observed in most abundant phyla but non-statistical differences were detected. (*) represent significant changes in relative abundances (p<0.05).
