a The additive effect of factors on the piglet tonsillar microbiota composition calculated by PERMANOVA on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity. Most variation in the dataset remains unexplained by the included factors, as shown in the high values of Sow_ID and residuals (i.e., variation specific to the individual sow (litter) or piglet and not explained by the other factors). Statistical significance is indicated, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. b The farrowing room effect at week 1 shown by RDA, abundance transformed by log(1000*abundance + 1). c The abundance of the 4 strongest drivers of farrowing room separation in RDA without abundance transformation. d Schematic presentation of the rooms and pens. 3 litters from room 5 were not included for microbiota sequencing (marked in grey)
