Assesing the Impact of Various Feeding Stages on Ruminal Microbiome and Physiological Characteristics in Japanese Black Cattle
This study examines Japanese Black steers across three stages: early (T1, 12-14 months), middle (T2, 15-22 months), and late (T3, 23-30 months). The rumen microbiota in 21 cattle per phase is analyzed through 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
