Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) profile of ruminal bacterial diversity (a) and ciliate protozoal diversity (b) between the CON and ST groups (n = 10 per group) using a Bray-Curtis metric. AMOVA analysis showed significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.05). c Effects of starter feeding on the rumen bacterial richness (number of observed species) and evenness (Shannon diversity index values) at the 3% dissimilarity level. d Effects of starter feeding on the rumen ciliate protozoal richness (number of observed species) and evenness (Shannon diversity index values) at the 3% dissimilarity level. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. n.s., not statistically significant
