Issue in File:Kibegwa 2023 rumen microbiome.png

Bacteria dominate rumen microbiome; composition can change substantially with diet.

File:Kibegwa 2023 rumen microbiome.png is displayed in section Cattle § Digestive system. The source of the image is "Fig 1. Phylogenetic classification of the rumen microbiome as revealed by metagenomic analysis." from paper "Diversity and functional analysis of rumen and fecal microbial communities associated with dietary changes in crossbreed dairy cattle" by Kibegwa et al.

In bottom center of the image (labeled "a", captioned a. Pie chart for microbial classification at the domain level. Averages are from all fecal and rumen liquor samples.), a small pie chart is split into three parts. Arrows from these slices point to three corresponding bar charts. The arrow from the blue (Archaea) slice points to a bar chart (labeled "e", captioned e. Stacked bar plot of relative abundance of the dominant phyla in the Eukaryota domain.) with six items:

Arrow from the grey (Eukaryota) slice points to a bar chart with:

Well since nobody seems to be trampling everyone to death rushing to fix the image, I've fixed it myself. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:56, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Young male cattle are called bull calves, once they are castrated they are called steers for the first 12 months then they are bullocks or oxen. 58.179.75.144 (talk) 20:36, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not done: leaving aside that Wikipedia isn't a dictionary, we can't insert text without citing a reliable source; nor is it obvious where this might go in the article.
