The disclosure relates to isolated microorganisms—including novel strains of the microorganisms—microbial consortia, and compositions comprising the same. Furthermore, the disclosure teaches methods of utilizing the described microorganisms, microbial consortia, and compositions comprising the same, in methods for modulating the production and yield of milk and milk components in ruminants. In particular aspects, the disclosure provides methods of increasing desirable components of milk in ruminants. Furthermore, the disclosure provides for methods of modulating the rumen microbiome.

Microbial compositions and methods of use for improving milk production

The present disclosure provides compositions formulated for ruminants that comprise beneficial microbes. Particularly, the disclosure provides a composition comprising microorganisms with at least 97% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-60 and 2045-2107. Such compositions can be used for increasing milk production or improving milk compositional characteristics in ruminants.
