Characterization of Rumen Microbiota in Lactating Holstein Cows Fed Molasses versus Corn Grain at Two Levels of Rumen Degradable Protein
16S (V4) amplicon sequencing of rumen liquids and solids from 12 cannulated Holstein cows randomly assigned to diets with high or low amounts of rumen degradable protein and increasing percent molasses within each to determine how changes in these diet components impact the rumen bacterial community composition.
