^a-b Means within the same row with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05)

^cTreatments were the LRDS diet (RDS = 20.52%), MRDS diet (RDS = 22.15%), and HRDS diet (RDS = 24.88%) with similar total starch contents

^dPopulations determined based on quantitative PCR using primers designed to target different members of Butyrivibrio/Pseudobutyrivibrio group, S. bovis, and P. acnes

^eSEM Standard error of mean
