TLDR
Network analysis demonstrated that annotated sequences clustered by management practice and fecal starch concentration, suggesting that the structures of bovine fecal bacterial communities can be dramatically different in different animal feeding operations, even at the phylum and family taxonomic levels.Abstract:
The fecal microbiome of cattle plays a critical role not only in animal health and productivity but also in food safety, pathogen shedding, and the performance of fecal pollution detection methods. Unfortunately, most published molecular surveys fail to provide adequate detail about variability in the community structures of fecal bacteria within and across cattle populations. Using massively parallel pyrosequencing of a hypervariable region of the rRNA coding region, we profiled the fecal microbial communities of cattle from six different feeding operations where cattle were subjected to consistent management practices for a minimum of 90 days. We obtained a total of 633,877 high-quality sequences from the fecal samples of 30 adult beef cattle (5 individuals per operation). Sequence-based clustering and taxonomic analyses indicate less variability within a population than between populations. Overall, bacterial community composition correlated significantly with fecal starch concentrations, largely reflected in changes in the Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes populations. In addition, network analysis demonstrated that annotated sequences clustered by management practice and fecal starch concentration, suggesting that the structures of bovine fecal bacterial communities can be dramatically different in different animal feeding operations, even at the phylum and family taxonomic levels, and that the feeding operation is a more important determinant of the cattle microbiome than is the geographic location of the feedlot.read more

TL;DR: It is found that about 10% of variation in microbial communities was explained by the tested cropping practices, which presents the basis towards developing microbiota management strategies for smart farming.

Rumen microbiome from steers differing in feed efficiency.
TL;DR: The involvement of the rumen microbiome as a component influencing the efficiency of weight gain at the 16S level is suggested to better understand variations in microbial ecology as well as host factors that will improve feed efficiency.

TL;DR: Because of the complexity and high degree of specificity of ionophore resistance, it appears that ionophores do not contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance to important human drugs.

TL;DR: Comparing the authors' sequences to known microbial genomes showed nonspecific recruitment, indicating that previously described taxa are only distantly related to the most abundant microbes in this treatment plant, and a comparison of proteins generated by translating their sequence set to translations of other sequenced microbiomes shows a distinct metabolic profile for activated sludge.

TL;DR: This full-length sequencing survey of 11,171 16S rRNA genes reveals animal-to-animal variation in communities that cannot be attributed to breed, gender, diet, age, or weather.
