Supplemental material for Ellagic acid on milk production performance, blood and milk hormones, antioxidant capacity and fecal microbial communities in lactating Yili mares
Description
Supplemental Figure S1. Effect of supplemental EA on the Venn diagram of fecal bacteria in lactating mares. Each circle of the Venn diagram represents a group, with the number in the overlapping circles representing the number of OTU species shared between those groups, while the number without overlap represents the number of OTU species unique to the group. CON: the control group, receiving no EA supplementation (n=6); EA 15: the EA 15 group, each mare was supplemented with EA 15 mg/kg·BW every day (n=6); EA 30: the EA 30 group, each mare was supplemented with EA 30 mg/kg·BW every day (n=6). Supplemental Figure S2. Spearman's correlation analysis mare milk production, milk composition, serum hormones and antioxidant capacity, milk hormones and antioxidant capacity and fecal fermentation parameters . The intensity of the colors represents the degree of association. Red represents a significant positive correlation (*P < 0.05), blue represents significantly negative correlation (*P < 0.05), and white shows that the correlation was not significant (P > 0.05). CON: the control group, receiving no EA supplementation (n=6); EA 15: the EA 15 group, each mare was supplemented with EA 15 mg/kg·BW every day (n=6); EA 30: the EA 30 group, each mare was supplemented with EA 30 mg/kg·BW every day (n=6).
