Characterization of the rumen and fecal microbiome in bloated and non-bloated cattle grazing alfalfa pastures and subjected to bloat prevention strategies.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Frothy bloat is an often fatal digestive disorder of cattle grazing alfalfa pastures. The aim of this study was to investigate ruminal and fecal microbiota dynamics associated with development of alfalfa-induced frothy bloat and to further explore how bloat prevention strategies influence the composition of these microbial communities. In a 3 × 3 crossover experiment, twelve rumen-cannulated steers were sequentially subjected to: (1) pure alfalfa pasture, (2) pure alfalfa pasture supplemented with the pluronic detergent ALFASURE, and (3) alfalfa - sainfoin mixed pasture. Eleven out of 12 steers in pure alfalfa pasture developed clinical bloat, whereas ALFASURE treatment prevented the development of bloat in all 12 steers and alfalfa - sainfoin prevented bloat in 5 out of 11 steers. Development of bloat was associated with considerable shifts in the microbiota profile of rumen contents. In particular, the microbiota of solid rumen contents from bloated steers contained higher species richness and diversity. Streptococcus, Succinivibrio and unclassified Myxococcales were enriched in the rumen microbiota of bloated steers, whereas Fibrobacter and Ruminococcus were overrepresented in the rumen contents of non-bloated steers. Our results provide novel insights into bloat-associated shifts in the composition and predicted functional properties of the rumen microbiota of cattle grazing alfalfa pasture.
