The Colonic fermentation and bacterial community in weaned lambs

In order to further verify this hypothesis, we selected weaned lambs as the experimental subjects and fed them maize meal low-grain diet, maize meal high-grain diet and whole maize high-grain diet separately, observed the colonic epithelial morphology by transmission electron microscopy and sequenced the colonic contents and mucosal microbiota, investigating the influences of maize form in high-grain diets on the microbial community in colon.
