Skin plays a role in maintaining balance in the body. The levels of certain bacteria on the skin of sheep and goats were studied. Differences were found in the levels of Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria. Some bacteria were positively correlated with each other. These differences may be due to variations in skin conditions like humidity and temperature. Individual differences also affect the bacteria on the skin.
