The effects of storage time and multiple freeze-thaw stress cycles on the integrity of rumen bacterial populations in dairy cattle

ABSTRACT: Effective preservation of rumen microbial populations for downstream use is highly sought after, yet potential biases introduced by storage time and repeated freeze-thaw cycles (FTC) remain poorly understood. This study investigates the effects of storage time and multiple FTC on the total...
