E. coli counts of fresh cattle faeces from the North Wyke Farm Platform

The data consists of faecal microbiology and moisture content taken from two separate cohorts of 30 cattle. The cattle were from the North Wyke Farm Platform, a UK national capability, located at Rothamsted Research, North Wyke in Devon. Faecal samples were collected between November 2016 and July 2018. Samples were collected and microbiologically analysed in the laboratory within 6 to 8 hours. Two cohorts of 30 cattle were selected from 90 animals, ten from each of the three farmlets. Each cohort covering the period that cattle enter the farm platform, i.e. from weaning until slaughter ca. 16 – 20 months.

本数据集包含来自30头牛的两个独立群体的粪便微生物学和水分含量数据。这些牛源自位于德文郡North Wyke的英国国家级平台——North Wyke农场。粪便样本收集于2016年11月至2018年7月之间。样本在6至8小时内被收集并在实验室进行微生物分析。从90头牛中选取了两个30头的群体，每个群体包含三个农场小区中的十头牛。每个群体覆盖了牛只进入农场平台的时间段，即从断奶直至屠宰，大约16至20个月。关于此数据集的详细信息可在以下链接找到：https://doi.org/10.5285/ec83a4ea-923a-4f02-8a9f-aeecc43d7123
