Rumen microbiota, comparisons over time. Box plots of (A) richness and (B) Shannon’s index, at the genus level, grouped by collection day. Boxes represent the 25th to 75th percentile; horizontal line represents the median; and whiskers indicate 1.5× the interquartile range (IQR), P values from Type-III ANOVA, collection days with different superscript letters were significantly different. (C) Differential abundance of phylum-level counts between collection days, expressed as log2 fold change (LogFC). Statistically significant logFC values (adjusted P < 0.05) are depicted in red, and non-significant in grey. Circle diameter is proportional to the average abundance of each phylum across all samples
