Fecal egg counts and gastrointestinal nematode species proportions in fecal samples of calves from 40 western Canadian cow-calf operations. Fecal samples from 10 to 20 individual calves were pooled at the herd level. Figure a represents the arithmetic means of 10–20 individual calf fecal egg counts of strongyle-type, Nematodirus spp. and Trichuris spp. eggs in each herd. Figure b represents the relative GIN species proportions of each herd determined by ITS-2 rDNA nemabiome metabarcoding of herd-level third-stage larval pools. Numbers from 1 to 40 on the x-axis identify the individual herds. Except for herds 9, 14, 25, and 34, nemabiome metabarcoding was undertaken on duplicate or triplicate aliquots of 250 larvae per herd (Additional file 1: Figure S1)
