Unraveling the interaction between the phageome and bacteriome in the rumen and its role in influencing metabolome dynamics in dairy cows at different lactation stages
This study revealed the bacteriome and phageome interactions at different lactation stages, and the key phages and bacteria regulating the rumen function and metabolism thus contributing to the milk traits of cows. The potential regulatory roles of phages in affecting the rumen bacteriome suggest that they can be powerful targets for future interventions to improve rumen functions. Video Abstract.
