Impact of Feed Composition on Rumen Microbial Dynamics and Phenotypic Traits in Beef Cattle
The rumen microbiome is central to feed digestion and host performance, making it an important target for improving ruminant productivity and sustainability.This study investigated how feed composition influences rumen microbial abundance and phenotypic traits in beef cattle.Fifty-nine Angus bulls were assigned to forage- and grain-based diets in a
