Microbial profiling of rumen fluid obtained from lambs fed a grain-based or carrot-based total-mixed ration. Ovis aries (juvenile)

The study aimed to determine if there was a rumen microbiome-associated influence on performance improvements noted in a companion study in lambs fed a total-mixed ration containing discarded carrots.

本研究旨在探明，在一项针对饲喂含废弃胡萝卜全混合日粮（total-mixed ration）的羔羊的配套研究中所观测到的生产性能提升效应，是否受到瘤胃微生物组（rumen microbiome）的相关影响。
