Metagenomic analysis provides bases on individualized shift of colon microbiome affected by delaying colostrum feeding in neonatal calves

This study investigated the effect of colostrum feeding time on the colon digesta microbiome of 2-day-old dairy calves using whole-genome-based metagenome sequencing, aiming to understand the dynamic changes of the colon microbiome when the colostrum feeding is delayed. In total, 24 male Holstein ca...
