Summary of microbial community in colon contents of weaned piglets. (A) Represents the Venn diagram summarizing the numbers of common and unique OTUs in the microflora community in colonic contents of weaning piglets. (B) Represents UPGMA Cluster Tree displaying the relative abundances of predominant bacteria at the species level in each group (unweighted UniFrac distance). (C) Represents principle component analysis (PCA) plot about the colonic microflora. (D) Represents shannon index reflecting species diversity within and between groups. (E,H,K,N) Represent the top 10 relative abundance of microflora community (level phylum, family, genus, species). (F,I,L,O) Represent differences of dominant species between groups (level phylum, family, genus, species). (G,J,M,P) Represent a species with significant differences between groups (level phylum, family, genus, species). Con represents the control piglets; Aps represents the piglets supplemented with the astragalus polysaccharide; Gps represents the piglets supplemented with ginseng polysaccharide. OTU, operational taxonomic unit. Piglets were regarded as the experimental units, each treatment with n = 6. ∗Means different (P < 0.05), ∗∗means significant difference (P < 0.01).
