The abundance of Lactobacillaceae in prepubertal and sexually mature minipigs during an estrous cycle. When evaluating the abundance of each family within prepubertal and sexually mature minipigs, we found a higher abundance of Lactobacillaceae in the prepubertal minipigs than in the sexually mature. The difference between the prepubertal and sexually mature minipigs was significant on day 0, 5, 9 and 17 of the estrous cycle. The abundance is given as percentage of Lactobacillaceae within the Firmicutes phylum. The bars represent mean + SEM (n = 10). Statistical analysis was performed with multiple bonferroni-corrected comparisons. Asterisks indicate significance levels: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
