Effects of dietary protein level on the bacterial diversity of feces in nursery pigs. (A): A box and whisker display of the species richness of the samples. ACE, abundance-based coverage richness estimate; Chao 1, richness estimate. (B): Shannon and Simpson display of the species diversity of samples. (C): Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination plots of bacterial communities from the feces of nursery pigs. HP = high protein group; LP = low protein group. # indicates 0.05 < p < 0.10 (trend).
