Delayed colostrum feeding influences ileum transcriptome profile in neonatal calves

Our study would like to explore the different colostrum feeding time treatment, as well as the influence of host-microbial interaction on transcriptome profile and enriched functions of the two day old dairy calves. Overall design: RNA sequencing based transcriptome analysis was conducted for ileum tissues collected from twenty-seven male Holstein calves which were randomly assigned to one of three colostrum feeding strategies (immediately after birth (TRT0h); 6 h after birth (TRT6h); 12 h after birth (TRT12h))
