Archaea:bacteria relative abundance in relation to methane emissions, preliminary data from the 1000-cow RuminOmics project. Dairy cows on different farms throughout Europe received grass or maize silage:concentrate diets of similar nutrient composition. Feed intake was measured either directly or calculated from faecal long-chain hydrocarbons. Samples of rumen contents were removed by stomach tube and DNA was extracted by the Yu & Morrison method [110]. Abundances were calculated from qPCR of 16S rRNA genes using universal primers for archaea and bacteria
