Rumen Microbiota, Predicted Metabolic Pathways, and Fermentation Parameters Exhibit Production-System-Specific Associations in Cattle and Goats
The specific differences, unique characteristics, and functional linkages of rumen microbiota and their metabolic pathways across different ruminant species remain poorly understood. To investigate these cross-species relationships, 16 Holstein cows, 28 Simmental crossbred cattle, and 15 Boer goats were fed under stand...
