Description: The transition from a milk-based diet to a solid feeding regime drastically impacts the gut microbiome of calves. Here, we explored the microbial communities of ruminal fluid and feces when Holstein calves were fed milk on d 7, and when fed a solid feed based on either medium- or high-quality hay without or with concentrate (70% in dry matter) inclusion on d 91.
