Investigations on the Effects of Dietary Essential Oils and Different Husbandry Conditions on the Gut Ecology in Piglets after Weaning
Figure 5
Cluster of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis fingerprints of amplicons of bacterial V6–V8 fragments of 16S rRNA gene obtained from colon digesta of piglets fed after weaning starter diet with of essential oils mixture containing limonene, pinene, and eugenol. Similarity was calculated using Pearson coefficient, and the cluster was formed by means of unweighted pair group method with averaging. EF—experimental farm, CR—commercial farm, 29, 30, 33, 39—age of piglets (d) corresponding to 1, 2, 5, and 11 days after weaning, respectively. Upper bar shows the distance of similarity in .
