Effect of chestnut tannin extract supplementation after 0, 30, or 60 d on the ruminal fermentation characteristics of finishing Tan lambs. (A) pH; (B) NH3-N; (C) TVFA = total volatile fatty acids; (D) butyrate; (E) acetate; (F) valerate; (G) isovalerate; (H) isobutyrate; (I) propionate; (J) BCVFA = branched-chain volatile fatty acids; (K) acetate/propionate. CON = control; LCTE = 2 g/kg chestnut tannin extract; HCTE = 4 g/kg chestnut tannin extract. The effects included group (G) effects, time (T) effects, and interaction effects between group and time (G × T), as well as linear (L) and quadratic (Q) effects. The mean and standard error of the mean are plotted. Bars with distinct superscripts (a–c) differ significantly (P < 0.05)
