SFR changed the relative abundances of microbiota in rumen. a Relative abundances of bacterial communities at the genus level. Red asterisks indicated significantly increased genera while blue asterisks indicated significantly decreased genera. b Genera involved in carbohydrate metabolism and propionate production and their correlations with feed intake. c Genera involved in butyrate production. The difference between two groups was identified by non-parametric t test (n = 8 per group), and asterisk indicated the significant difference (P < 0.05). The Spearman correlation coefficients (r) and significance tests between feed intake and microbiota were calculated using bivariate correlation (n = 16) in SPSS 19.0, and P < 0.05 was used to identify significant correlations
