Rumen and fecal bacterial composition in bison heifers under 2 diets
Bison heifers from 2 ranches were fed 2 diets (pasture-grazing transitioned to free-choice grain diet for 100 days). Rumen and fecal samples were collected. Microbial DNA was extracted from each sample. Amplicons were generated from the V1-V3 regions of16S rRNA gene. Amplicons were sequenced using an Illumina MiSeq 2X300.
