Figure 3. PCR-T-RFLP-derived unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendograms showing the effect of flax meal inclusion on the rumen microbiota.

The T-RFLP was based on Hae III (A) and MSP I (B) restriction enzymes. Cows were fed a control diet (CON) or a diet with 10% (10% FM) and 15% flax meal (15% FM). Scale relates to percent similarity and data are presented per period (Per).
