Whole blood RNA-seq analysis reveals the immunomodulatory effects of a supplemental multi-strain direct-fed microbial in the diet of newly weaned beef steers

Therefore, the objective of this study was to utilize RNA-seq analysis of whole blood to evaluate the effect of including a microbial additive blend containing live saccharomyces cerevisiae, multiple live probiotic bacteria, and their fermentation products in the diet of newly weaned beef steers following a 56-day receiving period.
