The tool SourceTracker (version 1.0.1) was used to estimate the proportions of microbes from each source in a target microbial community (sink)68. In the preliminary trial analysis, all the recipient samples were entered as individual sinks, while the donor feces, food pellets, and maternal milk were entered as individual sources. In the validation trial analysis, all the recipient samples were entered as individual sinks, while all the donor feces were entered as individual sources. The ASV feature tables and mapping files corresponding to each analysis set were used as input files, and the SourceTracker analysis was performed using default settings. Details related to the analysis are described through Code availability.
