Characterization of the Fecal Bacterial Microbiota of Healthy and Diarrheic Dairy Calves 2017-04-07 .txt text/plain 5187 292 44 The objectives of our study were to profile the fecal microbiota and predict the functional potential of microbial communities in healthy calves and calves with diarrhea from 2 large dairy farms with dissimilar management practices. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) 22 was used to identify bacterial taxa and predicted functional genes (PICRUSt) that were enriched in feces of healthy and diarrheic calves, based on a P < .05 and LDA score >2.0. [31] [32] [33] We identified significant differences in the fecal microbiota and its predicted functional metabolic pathways in healthy and diarrheic calves from 2 large dairy farms with different management practices. Significant differences in microbiota structure and membership between healthy and diarrheic calves suggest that dysbiosis occurred in diarrheic calves and was associated with changes in the predictive metagenomic function of the bacterial communities. Median relative abundance of the main metabolic pathways genes identified in feces of healthy and diarrheic calves from 2 different farms (n = 15 per group). ./cache/cord-306194-2vraae5h.txt ./txt/cord-306194-2vraae5h.txt
