Research Abstract

The present research revealed that genotypically and physiologically heterogeneous strains of S. bovis were distributed in the rumen. The specific genotypes of S. bovis strains are predominant when the animal is fed a high-grain diet. In addition, the balance of lactate producer/utilizer was altered by high-grain diet. This bacterial community shift might result in lactate accumulation and lower pH.
