Response of rumen microbiota to diets containing different corn silage levels in Holstein heifers

Ruminants have evolved through a close symbiotic relationship with a vast ensemble of ruminal microbiota, which give important metabolic capabilities on the host. Here, an abstract of an article by Shi et al evaluating effects of dietary corn silage levels on the changes in the microbiota of the rum...
