Microbial compositions were associated with dietary β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB). Stacked bar charts showed that different levels of dietary BHB supplementation (low, medium, and high) altered the rumen microbial composition at the phylum level (A) and the genus level (B) in 90-day-old goat kids. Each column represents one sample. C90 = controls at 90 days of age; L90: low dose (3 g/d per animal BHB) at 90 days of age; M90: medium dose (6 g/d per animal BHB) at 90 days of age; H90: high dose (9 g/d per animal BHB) at 90 days of age.
