Characterization of the core rumen microbiome in cattle during transition from forage to concentrate as well as during and after an acidotic challenge.

This study investigated the effect of diet and host on the rumen bacterial microbiome and the impact of an acidotic challenge on its composition. Using parallel pyrosequencing of the V3 hypervariable region of 16S rRNA gene, solid and liquid associated bacterial communities of 8 heifers were profile...
