Age-dependent changes in the faecal bacterial communities of earlyC and lateC calves. a, b Bacterial compositional profiles of different age group earlyC (n = 176) and lateC (n = 154) faecal samples based on ASVs visualized using principal-coordinate analysis plots. Each triangle indicates one sample. c Heatmap based on bacterial taxa with significantly different relative abundance (p < 0.05; Kruskal–Wallis test). Each day represents an average value for animals: d1 (20 & 22), d28 (24 & 21), d42 (25 & 23), d70 (26 & 21), d98 (27 & 22), d112 (27 & 23), and d140 (27 & 22) animals for earlyC and lateC groups, respectively. EarlyC group was weaned during experimental days 28–42 and lateC during experimental days 98–112
