Taxonomic analysis of pig nasal cavity microorganisms at different ages. Relative abundance of bacterial phyla (A) and genera (B) in the nasal cavity of pigs at different ages. The top 8 classes were described for each period, and all other classes were grouped as “Other” or “Unclassified.” LEfSe analysis based on OTUs characterizes microbiomes in the porcine nasal cavity at different ages. C Indicator bacteria with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) scores of 3.5 or greater are displayed. D Cladogram representing the LEfSe results of which taxa (highlighted by small circles and shading) are enriched in the nasal microbiome at different ages. E, F The microbial community function from all age groups was predicted using Tax4Fun. E Heatmap of representative microbial functions among the groups. F Comparison of significant differences in microbial functions between the different age groups. P values were calculated with Welch’s t test.
