Relative species abundance in samples taken before (a) and after (b) winter as determined by ITS2 rDNA nemabiome metabarcoding applied to genomic DNA made from L3 pooled from all 6 sampling units for each farm. The number of L3 in each pool from which genomic DNA was isolated is shown above the top line and the bars within the range of each line represents the sequencing data from a separate replicate amplicon for that sample. c The overall mean relative abundance (%) of different parasite species present before and after winter based on the data pooled from all three farms. The overall species diversity was measured by the inverse Simpson index which showed no significant difference between samples collected before and after winter (P = 0.856, one-way ANOVA)
