Microbial analysis in the post-weaning (D31) cecum of pigs fed a phase 1 nursery diet without (NG–) or with supplemental GOS (NG+). A Alpha diversity measures of Chao1 (P > 0.1), Shannon (P > 0.1), and Simpson (P > 0.1) metrics. B Beta diversity based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity matrix, P < 0.05. C Family-level taxonomy distributions. (^#NG– > NG+ , ^*NG+ > NG–) D Log₂fold changes in microbial genera of NG+ vs. NG– pigs, P < 0.05
