Responses to selection in A N3 and CLA indices and B methane emissions (CH4, g/kg of dry matter intake) using the 31 additive log-ratio transformed microbial gene abundances (alr-MGs) as selection information (i.e., microbiome-driven breeding strategy). Responses to selection in CLA, N3 indices and CH4 emissions are estimated by selecting animals for their aggregate estimated breeding value for CLA and N3 (assuming equal economical weights) predicted using the 31 alr-MGs. Response is expressed in units of phenotypic standard deviations of the trait (SD)
