Fecal bacterial communities of transition cows (post-partum) profiled using 16S amplicon sequencing. A Alpha diversity of LNF and HNF cows measured using Chao1, Shannon, and Simpson indices. B Comparison of bacterial communities generated from LNF and HNF cows. Principle coordinate analysis was performed using Bray–Curtis distance matrices. C Significantly different bacterial taxa tested by wilcox.test
