Assessing the impacts of dairy farm antimicrobial use on the bovine fecal microbiome

16S rRNA gene (V4) amplicon sequencing of cattle feces collected from dairy cows and calves on large commercial dairy farms in Wisconsin, USA having either high or low antimicrobial use (AMU) practices. The objective of this study was to determine if dairy farm AMU impacts the fecal bacterial community compositions of cattle.

本数据集针对美国威斯康星州大型商业化奶牛场的泌乳奶牛与犊牛粪便开展16S rRNA基因（V4区）扩增子测序，这些牛场的抗菌药物使用（antimicrobial use, AMU）水平分为高、低两类。本研究旨在明确奶牛场抗菌药物使用是否会影响牛的粪便细菌群落组成。
