    In the published article, there was a mistake in a reference made in the Discussion. The statement "We also found that above a darkness score of 0.5, there was much less variability in the percentage of ASVs captured, with most swabs capturing upwards of 70% of the highly prevalent ruminal ASVs in the bacterial community, confirming our previous report (Edwards et al., 2023)." was incorrectly referencing Edwards, J. E., Kim, E. J., Davies, D. R., Hanafy, R., and Kingston-Smith, A. H. (2023). Ruminant salivary microbes: passenger or player in the rumen? Microorganisms 11:2390. doi: 10.3390/microorganisms11102390The correct reference for the statement is "We also found that above a darkness score of 0.5, there was much less variability in the percentage of ASVs captured, with most swabs capturing upwards of 70% of the highly prevalent ruminal ASVs in the bacterial community, confirming our previous report (Young et al., 2020)."
