Alpha and beta diversity analysis of the 8 W, 1Y, and 2Y groups. a Observed operational taxonomic unit (OTU) count, (b) Chao 1 index, (c) Shannon diversity index. There were no significant differences among the groups in OTU, Chao1 and Shannon index (all p > 0.05; Kruskal–Wallis test). d β-diversity of genus and species analyzed by UniFrac principal coordinates analysis revealed to have significant distances between each group (p = 0.001, 8 W vs. 1Y; p = 0.001, 8 W vs. 2Y; and p = 0.009, 1Y vs. 2Y; Permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA)). Bars indicate maximum and minimum values
