Scanning electron micrographs of rumen papillae biopsied during the high forage and high grain diets. A: rumen papillae biopsied during the high forage diet displaying large crevices (arrow). B: rumen papillae biopsied during the high grain diet with extensive sloughing of the stratum corneum (arrow). C&D: surface morphology of epithelium layer below sloughed corneum during high grain diet revealing non-differentiated keratinocytes (arrows). E: microbial colonization of the rumen epithelium during the high forage diet. F: microbial colonization of the rumen epithelium during the high grain diet.
