The molecular mechanisms underlying rumen epithelial adaption to high-grain (HG) diets are unknown. To gain insight into the metabolic mechanisms governing epithelial adaptation, mature nonlactating dairy cattle (n = 4) were transitioned from a high-forage diet (HF, 0% grain) to an HG diet (65% grain). After the cattle were fed the HG diet for 3 wk, they returned to the original HF diet, which they were fed for an additional 3 wk. Continuous ruminal pH, ruminal short chain fatty acids, and plasm ...[more]
