Abstrakt:	The aims of this research were to evaluate how prolonged feeding of a high-concentrate diet affects the ruminal degradation kinetics of fiber and starch, and to evaluate the effects of the high-concentrate diet on apparent total-tract nutrient digestibility in dairy cows. We also investigated the dysbiotic effects and the remodeling of the hindgut microbiome with prolonged high-concentrate feeding. Nine Holstein cows were used in 2 experimental periods; in each period, cows were first fed a 100% forage diet for 1 wk, followed by stepwise adaptation during one week to a high-concentrate (HC) diet (65% concentrate), which was then fed for 4 consecutive weeks. The kinetics of in situ ruminal degradability of grass silage (DM and NDF), corn grain and wheat grain (DM and starch), as well as the apparent total-tract nutrient digestibility were evaluated in the forage feeding and in wk 4 on the HC diet. Whereas the hindgut microbiome and fermentation profile were evaluated on a weekly basis. Regarding the in situ ruminal degradability due to grain type, the rate of degradation of the potentially degradable fraction and the effective rumen degradability of wheat grain were greater compared with corn grain. The in situ ruminal degradability of NDF decreased with the HC diet. However, the apparent total-tract digestibility of CP, fat, starch, NDF, ADF, and NFC increased with the HC diet compared with forage feeding. In addition, the HC diet increased the concentration of short-chain fatty acids in the hindgut, lowering fecal pH by 0.6 units, which correlated positively with microbial α diversity. This resulted in lower α diversity with the HC diet; however, α diversity (number of amplicon sequence variants) showed recovery in wk 3 and 4 on HC; in addition, microbial β diversity did not change from wk 2 onward on the HC diet. Two microbial enterotypes were identified: one for the forage diet with abundance of Akkermansia and Anaerosporobacter, and another enterotype for the HC diet with enrichment in Bifidobacterium and Butyrivibrio. Overall, results show that major microbial shifts and hindgut dysbiosis occurred in wk 1 on the HC diet. However, the hindgut microbial diversity of cows adapted after 3 wk of consuming the starch-rich ration. Thus, feeding the HC diet impaired fiber degradation in the rumen, but increased apparent total-tract nutrient digestibility. Likely, the forage diet contained less digestible NDF than the HC diet due to greater inclusion of forages with lower NDF digestibility and lower inclusion of more digestible nonforage NDF. Results also suggest that the adaptation of the hindgut microbial diversity of cows observed 3 weeks after the diet transition likely contributed to enhance total-tract nutrient digestibility.
