Abstract:Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland that can be caused by various factors, including biological, chemical, mechanical, or physical. Microbiological culture, DNA techniques, and high-throughput next-generation sequencing have been used to identify mastitis-causing pathogens in various animal species. However, little is known about microbiota and microbiome changes linked to yak milk mastitis. This study aimed to characterize the milk microbiota of healthy and mastitis-infected yaks using full-lengt… Show more
