Table 1 Effects of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SCFP) and a subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) challenge on richness and diversity indices of rumen bacterial communities calculated from 16S rRNA gene sequencing

From: Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation products (SCFP) stabilize the ruminal microbiota of lactating dairy cows during periods of a depressed rumen pH
