Additional file 1 of Potential roles of the rectum keystone microbiota in modulating the microbial community and growth performance in goat model

Additional file 1: Table S1. The feeding programs of the experiment goats. Table S2. The relationship between rectum microbiota (relative abundance > 0.1%) and ADG of young goats (n = 76). Table S3. The topological roles of ASV in the HADG and LADG network. Table S4. The relationship between ADG-related bacteria in all young goats (n = 76, Spearman’s correlation, P < 0.05). Table S5. The relationship between NH3-N, lactate and growth performance traits of young goats (n = 76). Table S6. Prediction of the differential function of rectum microbiota between young goats (n = 20) and adult goats (n = 16) in KEGG pathways based on PICRUSt2. The P value was calculated based on the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
