Variations in the fecal microbiota and their functions of Thoroughbred, Mongolian, and Hybrid horses [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 The horse gut is colonized by a rich and complex microbial community that has important roles in horse physiology, metabolism, nutrition, and immune functions. Fewer across-breed variations in horse gut microbial diversity have been illustrated.
