Values are mean relative abundance ± SEMs, n = 8–11 per diet group. Adjusted P values from Wald test indicate differences between log2 FC values, calculated by DeSeq2 where reference group is HM. Phyla that were significant with an adjusted P value < 0.05 are shown. Animal numbers are n = 8–15 per diet group. FC, fold change; HM, human milk; MF, milk formula.
