Rumen Microbiota Modulates Metabolic Stress in High-Yielding Dairy Cows
Early lactation in high-yielding dairy cows is a critical period characterized by significant metabolic stress, which often leads to health disorders and production losses. The rumen microbiome plays a pivotal role in regulating host health and metabolism; however, its contribution to the metabolic stress experienced during EL in high-yielding dairy cows remains largely unexplored.
