Non-metric dimensional scaling (NMDS) plot of the first two scaling components from rumen bacterial (A) and archaeal (B) communities analysed with NGS techniques of lactating dairy cows supplemented with dietary linseed oil or nitrate.
<p>Mixed rumen content in Dairy 1 was obtained by stomach tube at 3 h after morning feeding and cows in Dairy 2 were samples through a rumen cannula at 2 h after feeding and samples were split by liquid and solid phase. Ellipses indicate the 99% confidence interval based on SE around the phase centroids.</p
