Impacts of feeding preweaned calves milk containing drug residues on the functional profile of the fecal microbiota

Abstract Feeding drug residue-containing milk to calves is common worldwide and no information is currently available on the impact on the functional profile of the fecal microbiota. Our objective was to characterize the functional profile of the fecal microbiota of preweaned dairy calves fed raw mi...
