The relationship of host and environmental factors to the microbial community structure. At phylum (a) and genus (b) level Distance-based Redundancy Analysis (RDA) plot showing the relationship of pen, season, birth weight, parity, date of birth and litter size to the microbial community structure. The red arrow indicates the host and environmental factors. The length of the arrow was representing the degree of interpretation of the factors to the species. The angle between the arrows represents the correlation. The distance from the sample point to the factor represents the relative influence of the factor on the distribution of the microbial community. Correlation heatmap of the top fourteen phyla (c), the top fifty genus (d) and environmental and host factors. The X-axis and Y-axis were host and environmental factors and species, respectively. The R-value was shown in different colors in the figure. The legend on the right was the color range of different R values. The value of P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 was marked with “*” or “**”
