Alpha diversity indices of rumen fluid between high‐production dairy cows and low‐production dairy cows
| Alpha | Mean (HighS) | SD (HighS) | Mean (LowS) | SD (LowS) | p‐vaule |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sobs | 870.56 | 281.37 | 1,326.44 | 109.46 | 0.00049 |
| chao | 1,019.7 | 302.19 | 1,442.51 | 83.04 | 0.00049 |
| Ace | 1,028.4 | 306.66 | 1,456.25 | 85.62 | 0.00049 |
| shannon | 3.36 | 0.78 | 5.21 | 0.28 | 0.00016 |
| simpson | 0.19 | 0.08 | 0.02 | 0.01 | 0.00016 |
Note. HighS represents for rumen fluid of high‐production cows. LowS represents for rumen fluid of low‐production cows. Wilcoxon Rank‐Sum Test is used for two group comparation. If p value is less than 0.05, there is significant difference in alpha diversity between the two groups.
