The gut microbiota and its impact on health and nutrition in animals, including cattle has been of intense interest in recent times. Cattle, in particular indigenous varieties like Kasaragod Dwarf cow, have not received the due consideration given to other non-native cattle breeds, and the composition of their fecal microbiome is yet to be established. This study applied 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing of fecal samples and compared the Kasaragod Dwarf with the highly prevalent Holstein crossbred cattle. Variation in their microbial composition was confirmed by marker gene-based taxonomic analysis. Principle Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) showed the distinct microbial architecture of the two cattle types. While the two cattle types possess unique signature taxa, in Kasaragod Dwarf cattle, many of the identified genera, including Anaerovibrio, Succinivibrio, Roseburia, Coprococcus, Paludibacter, Sutterella, Coprobacillus, and Ruminobacter, have previously been shown to be present in higher abundance in animals with higher feed efficiency. This is the first report of Kasaragod Dwarf cattle fecal microbiome profiling. Our findings highlight the predominance of specific taxa potentially associated with different fermentation products and feed efficiency phenotypes in Kasaragod Dwarf cattle compared to Holstein crossbred cattle.
