    Lay Summary When cows are fed with different dietary lipid sources, some changes are found at the rumen level which is later reflected in overall animal's metabolism and performance. This study determined the effect of dietary lipids on rumen bacteria communities. For this, 15 cows were divided into three groups and were assigned a control diet and then this diet was supplemented with either soybean oil or fish oil. Results show minor effects on bacteria communities regardless of dietary lipid sources.
