Fig. 1From: Bacterial direct-fed microbials fail to reduce methane emissions in primiparous lactating dairy cowsAverage abundance of 16S rRNA copies of Propionibacterium freudenreichii (PF) and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and 16S–23S intergenic region copies of Lactobacillus pentosus in the rumen of dairy cows fed high-starch (HSD) and high-fiber diets (HFD), collected 3 h after administration of direct-fed microbials. CTL-Control cows (in white), TRT-DFM treated cows (in black). Please note that Y axis starts at 3 and not 0. * significantly (P ≤ 0.05) different from CTL groupBack to article page
