The rumen liquid metatranscriptome of post-weaned dairy calves differed by pre-weaning ruminal administration of differentially-enriched, rumen-derived inocula

Only the taxa which have over 0.01% average relative abundance in at least one of the treatments [BE(+), BE(−), PE(+), PE(−)] were statistically analyzed by LEfSe
BE, bacterial-enriched rumen fluid; PE, protozoal-enriched rumen fluid
