Effects of Replacing Soybean Meal with Rapeseed Cake on Bacterial Abundance and Diversity in FTMR
This study investigated the effects of graded substitution of soybean meal with rapeseed cake on the bacterial community composition of FTMR. Bacterial communities were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 region using the Illumina platform. A total of 18 samples were sequenced. These data provide insights into the microbial ecology of FTMR and support the evaluation of rapeseed cake as an alternative protein source to soybean meal in ruminant nutrition.
