FIGURE 3.

Bacterial family level composition of different DNA extracts obtained from rumen fluid (A) and fibrous content (B) samples from dairy cows each fed different ratios of grass silage (GS) to maize silage (MS), e.g., GS67MS33 is a diet containing 67% grass silage and 33% maize silage. All the stacked bars represent individual sample data except for GS100 which represents the mean of two different DNA extracts (error bars represent the standard deviation). All family level phylogenetic groupings > 1% are shown individually, with those <1% summed together and presented as minor families.
