Farm conditions shape microbial communities and their association with methane intensity in dairy cattle: insights from the rumen microbiome at the community level by Simon Roques, Lisanne Koning, Alex Bossers, Alex Bossers, Sanne van Gastelen, Dirkjan Schokker, Edoardo Zaccaria, Léon Šebek, Soumya K. Kar

“…Even with control over key variables, the inherent variability of on-farm conditions impeded the detection of stable microbial patterns. In conclusion, our study clearly indicates that understanding CH4 emissions from dairy cattle in real-world settings fundamentally requires a broader ecological perspective where rumen microbes are recognized as key determinants influencing microbiota signals within multi-factorial farm settings.…”
