The vaginal distinguished bacteria of U4P group in the early breeding stage of first parity. A Boxplot of the Chao1 index between U4P and non-U4P group in the vagina. B PCoA plots based on the Bray-Curtis distances in the vagina. C The ROC curve of the random forest model based on optimal 24 ASVs in the vagina. D The optimal 24 predictors between the U4P and non-U4P groups in the vagina. Left panel: The relative abundance of bacterial ASVs. Right panel: The repeated cross-validation of the random forest model according to Mean Decrease Accuracy values. E The curve chart of distinguished ASVs of U4P in a longitudinal period in the vagina. All values in boxplot are expressed as mean ± SEM. The asterisks mean statistically significant difference: *P value < 0.05
