Cows were divided into a pasture and confinement group (PG, CG, n = 5). The CG stayed on a TMR based ration during the entire trial while the PG was slowly introduced to a pasture-based ration: wk 1: TMR, wk 2: TMR and 3 h pasture/d, wk 3 and 4: TMR and 12 h pasture/d, wk 5–10: pasture and 1.75 kg DM concentrate/d. Samples of the rumen liquid- (LAAB), particle- (PAAB), and epithelium-(EAAB) associated archaea and bacteria were collected in wk 1, wk 5, and wk 10 and 16S rRNA gene amplification and sequencing was performed.

b

Boxplots with statistics included in Data Sheet.

c

OTU, Operational Taxonomic Unit, New.Ref. OTU, New Reference OTU.

d

u.a., unculturable archeon, u.b., unculturable bacterium, all OTUs were classified as “unculturable bacterium or archeon” at species level, therefore only taxonomic classification up to the genus level is shown.

e

P-value: symbols indicate a significant difference in OTU abundance between locations (***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, P < 0.10). Symbols describe the proportional abundance of the OTU at the three different locations (+++ > 1%, ++ > 0.1%, + < 0.1%, - not detected).

f

Influence of the ration change from TMR to pasture on proportional abundance in the PG (comparison wk 1 and wk 10). P-value: symbols indicate a significant difference for a Group × Time or Group × Time × Location interaction (***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, P < 0.10), dd/ ii = decrease/increase by > 2x or > 1% in proportional abundance when decreasing to/increasing from 0, d/i = a decrease/increase by < 2x or <1% in proportional abundance when decreasing to/increasing from 0.

g

Symbols indicates a significant Cow or Cow × Time effect (***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, P < 0.10).
