Oral Samples as Non-Invasive Proxies for Assessing the Composition of the Rumen Microbial Community

Fig 3

Changes in microbial abundance between rumen and the three alternative sampling sites.

Each row represent genus-like microbial group for a) bacteria and b) archaea, ciliate protozoa, and fungi, while each dot represents individual cow. Differences were calculated as relative abundance in buccal swab minus abundance in rumen (red ○), faeces—rumen (green ○) and bolus—rumen (blue ○) based on n = 20 per sampling site.
