Box plot showing alpha diversity indexes (Chao1, Shannon and InvSimpson) in faecal microbiota at day 16 of life of piglets displaying slow growth (average daily gain: 167 ± 10.1 g/d) and fast growth (average daily gain: 280 ± 10.1 g/d) from 0 to 16 days of age and originating from sows fed increasing levels of hemicelluloses (HC13 = 13%, HC11 = 11%; HC9 = 9%; HC8 = 8%) during the lactation period. The presented P-values depict the overall sow dietary treatment (T), growth category (G), the interaction between sow dietary treatment and growth category (T x G), linear (L) and quadratic (Q) effects
