Network analysis of the interactions between bacterial taxa at different growth stages. Network analysis of bacterial interactions was performed using the R package “psych”. The spearman correlations (r) were calculated to reveal the correlation between rumen bacteria at the ASV level with a correlation co-efficiency over 0.7 or less than −0.7 and P < 0.05. Then, Cytoscape software was used for visualization. The yellow circles represent the relative abundance of each bacterial ASV. The blue lines mean a negative correlation between bacterial ASVs, while the red lines represent a positive correlation. F0: the timepoint to collect samples when cattle arrived feedlot
