Early colonization of the rumen microbiome is critical to host health and long
term performance. Factors that influence early colonization include maternal
factors such as gestational nutrition and mode of delivery. Therefore, we
hypothesized that late gestational nutrition and mode of delivery would
influence the calf rumen microbiome. Our objectives were to determine if
nutrient restriction during late gestation alters the calf rumen microbiome and
determine if ruminal microbiome composition …
