The effect of housing condition on ileal and colonic microbiota composition. Based on either unweighted or weighted UniFrac pairwise distance or Bray–Curtis pairwise dissimilarity at amplicon sequence variant-level, A, B Microbial dissimilarities of ileal digesta between CH and EH pigs were assessed by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and PERMANOVA. C–G Differences in inter-individual variation for CH versus EH pigs in ileal and colonic microbiota composition was asessed by Wilcoxon rank sum test. Distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA) triplots show the association between microbiota variation and environmental variables, focusing on samples from ileum (H) and colon (I). Blue and red colours represent conventional housing (CH) and enriched housing (EH), respectively. Dark grey arrows indicate environmental variables and light grey arrows show best fitting ASVs
