The current study uncovered the prevalence of ARGs in the rumen of a cohort of lactating dairy cows. The ruminal resistome is not co-varied with host feed intake, while it could be potentially linked to milk protein yield in dairy cows. Our results provide fundamental knowledge on the prevalence, mechanisms and impact factors of antimicrobial resistance in dairy cattle and are important for both the dairy industry and other food animal antimicrobial resistance control strategies.
