  1. Complete data is provided in supplemental data files. The ID is the genera identified ordered by most abundant sequences. The number of cows that were positive for each genus, the average percentage of the total bacterial population across all cows, and the range of the total population represented by each genus across all cows sampled is also shown in the table.
