Parturition and postpartum dietary change altered ruminal pH and the predicted functions of rumen bacterial communities but did not alter the bacterial composition in Holstein cows

Parturition and postpartum dietary change altered ruminal pH and the predicted functions of rumen bacterial communities but did not alter the bacterial composition in Holstein cows

We investigated the temporal dynamics of ruminal pH and the composition and predicted functions of the rumen bacterial community in Holstein cows during the periparturient period. Eight multiparous Holstein cows (body weight; 707.4 ± 29.9 kg, parity; 3.6 ± 0.6) were used for continuous reticulo-rumi...
