Additional file 1 of Host-specific probiotics feeding influence growth, gut microbiota, and fecal biomarkers in buffalo calves

Additional file 1: Figure S1. Compatibility tests between Ligilactobacillus salivarius BF-17 and Limosilactobacillus reuteri BF-E7 by A) Cross-streak assay and B) Co-culture techniques on the MRS agar plates. Figure S2. Rarefaction plot for 24 samples of V3-V4 region at depth of 38000. The image has been plotted against number of sequences per sample in x-axis vs diversity index in y-axis. The samples have been colored by their respective names. Figure S3. Microbial diversity indices for the bacterial communities in the feces samples of Murrah buffalo calves supplemented with probiotics as compared to control group. Basal diet with no supplementation (CON), supplemented with L. reuteri BF-E7 + L. salivarius BF-17 (PF; 1g/calf/d). Table S1. The relative abundance of bacteria at phylum level in the fecal samples of Murrah buffalo calves supplemented with probiotic formulation (PF) or not (CON) Table S2. The relative abundance of bacteria at genus level (average relative abundance>0.1% in at least one group) in the fecal samples of Murrah buffalo calves supplemented with probiotic formulation (PF) or not (CON)
