Goat rumen microbial community analysis using Metaphlan and Graphlan. a Approximately 96.6 -97.2% of fragments were assigned to bacteria, and 2.8–3.4% belonged to Archaea. The major phylum were Firmicutes (45–48.7%), Bacteroidetes (24.5–28.5%), and Fibrobacteres (14.1–16.5%). b The microorganisms annotated in all three datasets were combined. In total, 18 bacterial orders and 1 archaeal order comprised with 40 species were identified
