Fig. 1

Relative abundance of antimicrobial, heavy metal, and biocide resistance classes, with A showing the resistome composition of each sample on each farm and B comparison of treatment types [AB-ZnO (darker colours; indicated by dark grey in legend) and AB-ZnO free farms (lighter colours; indicated by light grey in legend)] per sample. Treatment types were compared per sample type using the Mann–Whitney U test with α = 0.05. Significant differences are indicated in red by an asterisk (p < 0.05). SFD, swab samples of cleaned feeders and drinkers of empty cleaned pens; SWF, swab sample of walls and floor of the pens prior to introduction of weaned piglets; FW0, faecal samples at the day of weaning; FW1, faecal samples 1 week post-weaning; FW2, faecal samples 2 weeks post-weaning
