Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the weaning days of age on ruminal microbial diversity in Hu lambs. Sixty-six male Hu lambs were selected, and six lambs were slaughtered at each sample time (1, 14 and 28 days of age, respectively). The rest 48 lambs were divided into two groups weaned at 28 and 56 days of age, respectively. Lambs were slaughtered at 42, 56, 70 and 84 days of age (6 lambs per group at each sample time), respectively, to collect ruminal content. All lambs were fed starter since 7 d of age. The experiment period was from 1 to 84 days of age. The results showed as follow:weaning days of age had no significant effects on the relative abundance of Ruminococcus albus, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, Streptococcus bovis, Fibrobacter succinogenes and Treponema bryantii. With the increase of days of age, ruminal microbial diversity of lambs continuously increased; compared with lambs weaned at 56 days of age, lambs weaned at 28 days of age had higher microbial diversity. The results indicate that the microbial diversity are affected by days of age and weaning days of age, and early weaning can accelerate establishment of ruminal microflora.
