Comparative study of rumen fermentation and microbial community differences between water buffalo and Jersey cows under similar feeding conditions
Differences in rumen volatile fatty acids (VFAs), microbial population and community composition between water buffalo and Jersey cows were compared to explore the effects of animal species on ruminal microbiota. Ruminally fistulated buffalo (n = 4) and Jersey cows (n = 4) with similar body weights...
