PERMANOVA testing of both Bray-Curtis and Jaccard matrices confirmed that there were highly significant overall differences among the four groups (pre-release, post-release, bull, and calf; P = 0.001).
Post-release however, a decreasing trend in Coriobacteriia , and to a lesser degree, Alphaproteobacteria .
The bull’s gut community was dominated by the same core taxa as the females and it showed an increasing trend in relative abundance of Ruminococcus_E , as well as an unclassified member of Butyricioccaceae .
