Impact of 3-NOP, OIL, and 3-NOP + OIL on the bacterial and archaeal community in rumen digesta and rumen fluid. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity is shown to compare the samples as a function treatment and time. Vectors having a statistically significant association (P < 0.05) with the ordinations are included. Vector length is proportional to the degree of correlation between the environmental parameter and the ordination. Vector abbreviations: H2, CO2, CH4 emissions adjusted for dry matter intake. dH2: dissolved hydrogen, ISOBUTY: isobutyric acid, ISOVAL: isovaleric acid, VFA: total VFA concentration
