Violin plot showing the shift in the relative faecal abundances of bacterial families involved in digestion and volatile fatty acid production in foals between the day 1 (T0) and day 35 (T1) of birth. At T0 the examined families display a wider distribution pattern and are more abundant compared with at T1, when the abundance of each family was uniformly low, with the exception of Lachnospiraceae
