Rumen Microbiota Predicts Feed Efficiency of Primiparous Nordic Red Dairy Cows
Efficient feed utilization in dairy cows is crucial for economic and environmental reasons. The rumen microbiota plays a significant role in feed efficiency, but studies utilizing microbial data to predict host phenotype are limited. In this study, 87 primiparous Nordic Red dairy cows were ranked fo...
