Number of detected antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in each manure belt swab from the caged layer shed of each sampling visit on Farm L. The sampling was performed when the chickens were 23 weeks (W23) and 33 weeks old (W33). Sample 2 and 3 for W23 were combined to provide a sufficient biomass for processing. FC, fluoroquinolone/florfenicol/chloramphenicol; MLSB, macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B; MGE, mobile genetic element.
