Microbial Beta diversity within IUGR and NORM categories over time. NMDS plot using Bray–Curtis dissimilarity matrix showing the differences in bacterial composition between pigs affected by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and normal pigs (NORM) over time (panel A) and at T1 (panel B), T2 (panel C), T3 (panel D), and T4 (panel E). T1 = day 16 ± 0.6; T2 = day 63 ± 8.6; T3 = day 119 ± 11.4; T4 = day 162 ± 14.3 of age
