Gastrointestinal Bacterial and Methanogenic Archaea Diversity Dynamics Associated with Condensed Tannin-Containing Pine Bark Diet in Goats Using 16S rDNA Amplicon Pyrosequencing

Figure 3

Relative abundance of major taxonomic groups across pine bark (PB) dietary supplementation in growing meat goats. Phyla included in this figure had relative abundance values consistently greater than 1%, as well as the abundant classes of the phylum Proteobacteria. Values presented are the mean percentage. 0% = 0% PB (control), 15% = 15% PB, and 30% = 30% PB on an as-fed basis.
