摘要

Analysis of the cow microbiome, as well as host genetic influences on the establishment and colonization of the rumen microbiota, is critical for development of strategies to manipulate ruminal function toward more efficient and environmentally friendly milk production. To this end, the development and validation of noninvasive methods to sample the rumen microbiota at a large scale are required. In this study, we further optimized the analysis of buccal swab samples as a proxy for direct bacterial samples of the rumen of dairy cows. To identify an optimal time for sampling, we collected buccal swab and rumen samples at six different time points relative to animal feeding. We then evaluated several biases in these samples using a machine learning classifier (random forest) to select taxa that discriminate between buccal swab and rumen samples. Differences in the inverse Simpson’s diversity, Shannon’s evenness, and Bray-Curtis dissimilarities between methods were significantly less apparent when sampling was performed prior to morning feeding ( P ? 60%) taxa in buccal and rumen samples had significant variance in relative abundances between sampling methods but could be qualitatively assessed via regular buccal swab sampling. This work not only provides new insights into the oral community of ruminants but also further validates and refines buccal swabbing as a method to assess the rumen bacterial in large herds.IMPORTANCE The gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants harbor a diverse microbial community that coevolved symbiotically with the host, influencing its nutrition, health, and performance. While the influence of environmental factors on rumen microbes is well documented, the process by which host genetics influences the establishment and colonization of the rumen microbiota still needs to be elucidated. This knowledge gap is due largely to our inability to easily sample the rumen microbiota. There are three common methods for rumen sampling but all of them present at least one disadvantage, including animal welfare, sample quality, labor, and scalability. The development and validation of noninvasive methods, such as buccal swabbing, for large-scale rumen sampling is needed to support studies that require large sample sizes to generate reliable results. The validation of buccal swabbing will also support the development of molecular tools for the early diagnosis of metabolic disorders associated with microbial changes in large herds.
