  1. a-cMeans with different superscripts within a row of REN differ (P < 0.05)
  2. 1Data were cubic root transformed to ensure normality of residuals. Value in parenthesis is the mean of untransformed data in each treatment
  3. 2Genus/other can not be detected the rumen solid and liquid fraction, and only the difference of relative abundance of bacterial genera from rumen epithelium (RE) between SBM and DDGS (SBM-RE and DDGS-RE) was analyzed with SAS. Relative abundance (least square mean) of Blvii28, Neisseriaceae uncultured, and Campylobacter (%) for SBM-RE and DDGS-RE were 1.52 and 1.28 (P = 0.68); 2.52 and 2.80 (P = 0.88); 4.62 and 6.62 (P = 0.50), respectively
  4. 3Relative abundance (least square mean) of Pseudobutyrivibrio (%) was 0.52b, 0.74b, 0.07b, 0.61b, 2.52a and 0.06b for SBM-RS, SBM-RL, SBM-RE, DDGS-RS, DDGS-RL, and DDGS-RE, respectively, and that of Suttonella was 0.001b, 0.023b, 0.899a, 0.002b, 0.009b, and 0.225b for SBM-RS, SBM-RL, SBM-RE, DDGS-RS, DDGS-RL, and DDGS-RE, respectively. DDGS: dried distillers grains with solubles, SBM: soybean meal, RE: rumen epithelium, RS: rumen solid, RL: rumen liquid
