Microbial insights into ruminal fiber degradation and feed efficiency of Hu sheep

Frontiers in Microbiology
Ruminal fiber degradation is essential for feed conversion efficiency in sheep; however, it remains unclear whether individual variations in ruminal fiber degradation directly affect feed conversion efficiency. Here, the relationship between ruminal fiber degradation rate and feed conversion efficiency and influence of rumen structure, function, and ...

Impact of oat grain supplementation on growth performance, rumen microbiota, and fatty acid profiles in Hu sheep

Frontiers in Microbiology
The intestinal microbiota plays a vital role in animal growth and development. In this study, we explored the impact of oat grain dietary supplementation on growth performance, intestinal microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and fatty acids (FAs)

Whole-Genome Resequencing Identifies Candidate Genes for Tail Fat Deposition in Sheep

Animals
Excessive adipose tissue accumulation in sheep disrupts insulin signaling, inducing insulin resistance, and alters energy partitioning mechanisms. These changes adversely affect both ovine health and production efficiency.
