Ordination of sequencing reads aligning to determinants of AMR for carcass meat trimmings rinsates samples obtained in the chilling cooler and colon content, by production practice and harvest facility. Non-metric multidimensional scaling of Euclidean distances revealed no difference between (A) carcass meat trimmings of production practices (P = 0.84, R2 = 0.00) or (B) carcass meat trimmings of facility of harvest (P = 0.10, R2 = 0.09). On the other hand, ordination of resistome colon content revealed that the (C) production system had an effect (P = 0.01; R2 = 0.05) on the resistome composition, although (D) harvest facility did not (P = 0.41; R2 = 0.00)
