Only taxa abundant over 1% of the total sequences at least in one group and significantly affected by diet are presented. ^a,b,c Different letters in the same variable indicate statistical differences (p < 0.05). ¹ HE, high energy level, ME = 10.9 MJ/Kg; LE, low energy level, ME = 8.6 MJ/Kg; HP, high protein level, CP = 15.7%; LP, low protein level, CP = 11.8%. ² E = energy effect; P = protein effect; E × P = interaction effect of energy and protein. SEM = Standard error of the mean.
