Abstract

Abstract The study presents the results of the influence of coconut and flaxseed oils by the in-vitro method on the microbiome of scar fluid in young cattle. During the experiment, a decrease in the number of bacteria for Firmicutes phylum by 37.2 and 35.2 % using vegetable oils with the control sample and growth for the large phylum Bacteroidia, the bacterial abundance was higher than in control by 28.1 and 25.1 % for coconut and flaxseed oils, respectively. Also, the use of coconut and flaxseed oils has led to an increase in the number of bacteria for filum Candidatus Saccharibacteria and phylum Verrucomicrobia.
