Table 3 Predicted prokaryotic and fungal enzymes* significantly (P < 0.05) reduced (as detected using LEfSe) in the ruminal microbiota of heat-stressed (HS) cows relative to pair-fed thermal neutral (PFTN) control cows

From: Heat stress impacts the multi-domain ruminal microbiota and some of the functional features independent of its effect on feed intake in lactating dairy cows
