16S amplicon sequencing of post-treated calf fecal microbiota
The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of Collinsella aerofaciens on the gut microbiota composition of calves. Fecal samples were collected from calves following treatment, and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing targeting the V3-V4 hypervariable region was performed using the Illumina platform. The resulting sequences were processed to characterize the fecal microbial community structure, with a specific focus on the abundance and role of Collinsella aerofaciens. This dataset provides insights into the impact of Collinsella aerofaciens on the calf gut microbiome and contributes to understanding host-microbe interactions in livestock.
