Replication data for: Raw Data from Fecal Microbiota and Hair Glucocorticoid Concentration Show Associations with Growth during Early Life in a Pig Model (PID2020-113604RB-I00 project).

Raw data from publication González-Solé et al. Nutrients 2022, 14, 4639.
The aim of this study was to identify if a differential growth during lactation and/or the nursery period may be associated with fecal microbiota composition and fermentation capacity, as well as to leave a print of glucocorticoid biomarkers in the hair. The dataset provides these values collected in in extreme growth piglets at the end of the nursery period.
70 pigs with slow growth during lactation and 81 pigs with fast growth during lactation were weighed again at the end of nursery period (d62 of life). Then, pigs with slow growth during the nursery period from each subset and also pigs with fast growth during the nursery period were chosen, obtaining four groups as a factorial design. At the end of the nursery period (d63), fecal and hair samples were collected from the
piglets included in the study to analyze cortisol and cortisone in hair, Short-Chain Fatty Acid, and 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing.
