The study revealed that the rumen and colon mucosa-associated bacterial communities in dairy calves fed a high milk replacer feeding rate shifted during the weaning process, and these changes may have implications for tissue physiological measures.
The objectives of this study were to investigate the shifts in rumen and colon mucosa-associated microbiota in dairy calves fed a high milk replacer feeding rate before and after weaning and to determine whether such shifts are associated with tissue physiological measures. Longitudinal biopsy was performed to collect rumen and colon mucosal tissues of 4 ruminally cannulated Holstein dairy bull calves (weaned at 6 wk of age) at the end of wk 5 (before weaning), 7 (weaning adaptation) and 12 (after weaning), and were used to assess mucosaassociated microbiota and their changes using amplicon sequencing. Both rumen and colon mucosa-associated bacterial communities shifted during the weaning process, as evidenced by their clear separation among 3 different weaning periods and increased alpha diversity (Shannon and Chao1 indices) during weaning transition. Among the 3 dominant bacterial phyla identified (relative abundance > 1.0%), the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes decreased in the rumen mucosa, whereas the relative abundance of Firmicutes increased in both rumen and colon mucosa during weaning transition. In the rumen mucosa, Campylobacter (0.6-22.1%) gradually became prevalent during weaning transition, whereas Succinivibrio (6.2-10.3%) and Prevotella 1 (4.7-10.5%) were dominant regardless of weaning transition. In the colon mucosa, Bacteroides (12.8-25.4%) was dominant during weaning transition, although its relative abundance decreased after weaning. In the meantime, relative abundance of uncultured Lachnospiraceae increased from 2.2% to 25.7% during this period. In addition, genera Pyramidobacter (in the rumen mucosa) and Lachnoclostridium (in the colon mucosa) were positively correlated with rumen papilla surface area and colon mucosal thickness, respectively. Moreover, genera Ruminococcaceae UCG-005 and Sharpea in the rumen mucosa were positively correlated with the molar proportion of propionate and butyrate, respectively. Overall, our findings revealed that rumen and colon mucosa-associated bacterial communities altered in response to the weaning transition, and some bacterial taxa in these communities may have positive effects on rumen and colon mucosa development during this period.
