Yak rumen microbial diversity at different forage growth stages of an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
The rumen microbiota of ruminants plays a vital role in fiber digestion, and environmental factors affect its community structure. The yak (Bos grunniens) is the main livestock species that inhabits the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) at regions located at high-altitude of 3,000–5,000 m. This work inves...
