Fig 5

Observed and estimated species richness and Shannon diversity index of ileal and colonic digesta samples collected at 3, 28, and 42 days of age from piglets administered gentamicin (AB; n = 33), Bacillus spores (PRO; n = 33), both gentamicin and Bacillus spores (PRO+AB; n = 31), and control piglets receiving neither gentamicin nor Bacillus spores (CON; n = 29). Boxplots show the (A) observed and (B) estimated species richness, and (C) Shannon diversity index.
