Abstract
The present disclosure provides compositions formulated for ruminants that comprise beneficial microbes. Particularly, the disclosure provides a composition comprising microorganisms with at least 97% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-60 and 2045-2107. Such compositions can be used for increasing milk production or improving milk compositional characteristics in ruminants.
Claims35
A method for increasing milk production or improving milk compositional characteristics in a ruminant, the method comprising orally administering to a ruminant an effective amount of a ruminant supplement comprising:
- a) a purified microbial population that comprises at least one bacterium with a 16S nucleic acid sequence and/or at least one fungus with an ITS nucleic acid sequence, which is at least 97% identical to a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-60 and 2045-2107;
- and
- b) a carrier suitable for ruminant administration, and
- wherein the ruminant administered the effective amount of the ruminant supplement exhibits an increase in milk production or improved milk compositional characteristics, as compared to a ruminant not administered the ruminant supplement.
