  • VAGINAL AND FECAL MICROBIOME BIOMARKERS FOR PREDICTING BOVINE REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS
    Publication number: 20210032687
    Abstract: To gain insights into the relationship between microbiota and fertility, the vaginal and fecal microbiomes of female cows were examined throughout pregnancy. Next generation sequencing and Random Forest modeling were used to identify bacterial biomarkers present in vaginal and fecal samples that are predictive of pregnancy status. The present invention provides methods and kits that can be used to select female cows to include in a breeding program based on detection of these biomarkers.
