Characterization of rumen microbiota in lactating Holstein cows fed molasses versus corn grain at two levels of rumen-degradable protein

We evaluated the influence of diets differing in non-fiber carbohydrates and rumen-degradable protein (RDP) levels on changes in the ruminal bacterial populations in lactating Holstein cows. In all, 12 ruminally cannulated cows were assigned to diets with high or low RDP levels. Within each RDP leve...
