Figure 2

The phylum-level microbiome composition in the GI tract of steers. The treated (AB) steers received tylosin and monensin as feed additives while the control (NA) group received no antibiotic feed additives. There was no difference between the two groups within the GIT compartments for the three major phyla; (A) Bacteroidetes, (B) Firmicutes, and (C) Proteobacteria. However, the percentage of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes varied between the GIT compartments. The whiskers represent 10–90% confidence intervals and the solid black line represents the mean for the samples. NS denotes not significant; *denotes P < 0.05.
