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

<table>The 6 most abundant archaea genera (<i>Methanobrevibacter</i>, <i>Desulfurococcaceae</i>,<i> Methanosphaera</i>, <i>Archaeoglobus</i>, Mc18, and <i>Thermofilum</i>) in the hindgut of various levels of pine bark (PB) diets from a common cohort of 17 meat goats.
