Figure 2

Box plot illustrating the rumen multi-kingdom diversity in terms of richness (A) and Shannon’s index (B) in 26-week-old goats measured at 21 days after a shift from a high-concentrate to a full forage diet (oats hay). During the first 10 weeks of age, goats (N = 36) received a daily and oral inoculation with autoclaved rumen fluid (AUT), rumen fluid from adult animals fed forage (RFF), or fed concentrate diets (RFC) or without inoculation (CTL). Principal coordinates analysis (C) illustrating relationships (ρ > 0.4) between the structure of the rumen microbiota and productive data. PERMANOVA values are provided based on the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity.
