Rumen resistome by weaning strategy across collection days. (A) Relative abundance plot of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) at the ARG group level, grouped by collection day and weaning strategy. ARGs with < 1% abundance are grouped as “Others”. Each bar corresponds to an individual sample. (B) Differential abundance of ARG groups between fence-line and truck weaned calves, at weaning and post-weaning days, expressed as log2 fold change (LogFC). Statistically significant logFC (adjusted P < 0.05) are depicted in red and non-significant in grey. Circle diameter is proportional to the average abundance of each ARG group across all samples
