Microbiome network traits in the rumen predict average daily gain in beef cattle under different backgrounding systems

Abstract Background Backgrounding (BKG), the stage between weaning and finishing, significantly impacts feedlot performance in beef cattle; however, the contributions of the rumen microbiome to this growth stage remain unexplored. A longitudinal study was designed to assess how BKG affects rumen bac...
