Fig. 3From: Repeated inoculation with rumen fluid accelerates the rumen bacterial transition with no benefit on production performance in postpartum Holstein dairy cowsEffects of rumen microbiota transplantation (FR), sterile rumen fluid transplantation (SR) on production performance, plasma lipidome in postpartum dairy cows. The dairy cows in the CON group received 10 L saline daily. A–C Average dry matter intake (A), milk production (B), and feed efficiency (C) at 3-d intervals during postpartum 21 d including 7-time points. D and E The lipidome profiles of plasma visualized by score plots of principal component analysis (PCA) in the positive model (D) and negative model (E). F Heatmap plot used to show the relative intensive of SDL with FC > 2 or < 0.5. The colors of heatmap cells indicate the level of lipids across different samples. G and H Mantel analysis between significantly different lipids matrix and plasma parameter matrix. Color gradients indicate Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Edge width corresponds to the Mantel’s r value and edge color denotes the statistical significance. *0.01 ≤ P < 0.05; **0.001 ≤ P < 0.01; ***0.0001 ≤ P < 0.001. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. n = 10Back to article page
