Multiomics analysis revealed that the metabolite profile of raw milk is associated with the lactation stage of dairy cows and could be affected by variations in the ruminal microbiota
ABSTRACT: The nutritional components and quality of milk are influenced by the rumen microbiota and its metabolites at different lactation stages.Hence, rumen fluid and milk samples from 6 dairy cows fed the same diet were collected during peak lactation, early mid-lactation, and later mid-lactation.Untargeted metabolomics and 16S rRNA sequencing w
