¹ CON Control (n = 4), EML Ensiled mulberry leaves (n = 4), SMFP sun-dried mulberry fruit pomace (n = 4)

² SEM Standard error of the mean

Population sizes are expressed as percentages of the 16S rRNA gene copy number of the total bacteria

Different letters in the same row indicate a significant difference between values within the row (p < 0.05)
