Supplemental Table S1. Number of outliers removed per variable from the dataset used in the study.
Supplemental Figure S1. Box plots showing the relative abundance of methanogen amplicons, expressed as a proportion of total 16S rRNA gene amplicons (bacteria + archaea), in ruminal fluid of lactating Jersey cows fed increasing dietary levels (0%, 3%, and 6% of diet DM) of Chondrus crispus. Box plot elements represent the interquartile range (25th–75th percentile), median, and whiskers extending up to 1.5 × the interquartile range.
