Rumen bacterial diversity of 80 to 110 days goats using 16S rRNA sequencing
Three goats that were 40 ± 1 days old with similar body weights were randomly chosen for installation of a rumen fistula. The goats were weaned when 60 days old and were fed a diet ad libitum twice daily at 08:30 and 18:00.We collected 50 mL rumen contents when the goats were 80, 90, 100 and 110 days old; all collections were performed before the morning feeding (at 08:30).
