Bovine udder microbiota
The microbiota of 60 cows was studied at quarter level. Samples were collected after regular milking in 2 different occasions and were obtained from 2 farms located in the southern part of Norway. Over 400 milk samples were analysed using the 16S amplicon sequencing to characterise the microbial composition. The data provided a good overview of the microbial diversity between farms, sampling periods as well as between and within individual cows. Two taxa (Corynebacteriaceae and Staphylococcaceae) accounted for more than half of the total number of sequences and were detected in all the cows indicating how these 2 taxa might be considered part of the core microbiota in the bovine udder.
