From: Alterations in rumen microbiota via oral fiber administration during early life in dairy cows
Change in the ruminal bacterial community structure in calves from 7 to 56 days of age. The PCoA plot was generated based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarities of rumen bacterial community determined via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Colors indicate the dietary groups; control (yellow) and treatment (blue). Different symbols represent different age points. Individual points represent individual animals. P-values of the effect of dietary group (P < 0.001), calf age (P < 0.001), and diet × age interaction (P < 0.01) was calculated using the PERMANOVA test.
