Abstract
was enriched in the rumen fluid at the genus level. In conclusion, the present study indicates that ketosis is accompanied by alterations in the rumen microbiota community. PG treatment changes the composition of rumen microbiota to a healthier state and contributes to rapid recovery from ketosis. These results support the usage of PG for treating such metabolic diseases that challenge high-yield cows due to their minimized cost and maximized safety without any adverse events.
