Beta diversity of colon content and carcass meat trimmings (as measured by weighted and unweighted UniFrac distances and compared with PERMANOVA). Samples are colored by the production practice the cows were raised in. Shapes correspond to the facility where the cows were slaughtered. In carcass meat trimmings, weighted UniFrac distances were different (P = 0.005) between harvest facilities (although unweighted distances were not different (P = 0.646)). There was no difference (P > 0.05) between the production facility where the cows were raised. For colon content, harvest facilities had different (P < 0.05) microbiome, but not production-system weighted UniFrac distances (P > 0.05)
