Shannon α-diversity of the faecal microbiota of pigs supplemented with Bacillus altitudinis WIT588 spores during 1st stage and/or 2nd stage weaning or with antibiotic (AB) + ZnO during 1st stage weaning or un-supplemented during both stages. Treatments (1st stage weaning period/2nd stage weaning period) are as follows: Con/Con, Con/Pro, Pro/Con, Pro/Pro, and AB + ZnO; where Con = control, Pro = probiotic and AB + ZnO = antibiotic + ZnO. Colours indicate the time point post-weaning at which pigs were sampled. Significant differences between treatments within each sampling time point are indicated as ** (P ≤ 0.01), * (0.01 < P ≤ 0.05) and † (0.05 < P ≤ 0.1).
