PICRUSt2-based functional pathway analysis of fecal microbiota in Yunnan Semi-Fine Wool rams fed diets containing different calcium levels: Q_1 (0.53%), Q_3 (0.74%), and Q_5 (0.98%). The figure compares the relative abundance of metabolism-associated functional genes across groups: (A) Q_1 versus Q_3, (B) Q_1 versus Q_5, and (C) Q_3 versus Q_5. Only pathways showing statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) are indicated with an asterisk (*). Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval, highlighting functional shifts in microbial metabolic potential in response to dietary calcium variation.
