Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEFse) analysis of intestinal microbiota in piglets. LEFse identified the abundant taxa difference between the NC, ST_48, and ST_72 groups. At the phylum, family, and genus levels, the taxa enriched in NC are presented by a positive LDA score (red), those enriched in the ST_48 group are represented by a positive LDA score (green), and those enriched in the ST_72 group are represented by a positive LDA score (blue). Taxa with P < 0.05 and LDA >2 are displayed. (A) LDA discriminant results map. (B) LEFse multilevel species hierarchical treemap.
