Investigated the microbiota composition of cecal digesta

The test mainly studyed the effects of supplementing flaxseed oil and flaxseed grain in diet on cecal microbiota community in Albas cashmere goats, and investigated whether the shift among blood fatty acid profiles in cashmere goats in response to dietary supplementation of flaxseed or flaxseed oil related to the change of cecal microbial composition and to explain the possible mechanism of flaxseed oil and grain in ameliorating blood fatty acid profiles.
