Values within the same row with different letters are significant different (FDR-P < 0.05)

KW_P values were the overall significant differences analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test for the non-normally distributed data

BD Basal Diet, BDP Post-control period, SEM Standard error of the mean. O Order, F Family, G Genus
