Fig. 2From: Microbiome network traits in the rumen predict average daily gain in beef cattle under different backgrounding systemsTaxonomic composition at phylum level in the rumen microbiome of calves at weaning (T1), backgrounding (T2–T3), and finishing (T4–T5). a Barplot showing the relative abundance of phyla at weaning, backgrounding and finishing. b Boxplots showing relative abundances of Proteobacteria in calves within every BKG system, from weaning to finishing. c Boxplots showing relative abundances of Proteobacteria in calves within specific time points, BKG:T2–T3 and finishing: T4–T5.
