Gender and age-related variations in rumen fermentation and microbiota of Qinchuan cattle
We observed a significant improvement in the diversity and stability of rumen microbiota as age increased. Ruminococcus, NK4A214_group, and Prevotella were likely contributors to variations in energy utilization and fat deposition between male and female Qinchuan cattle.
