Effects of Compound Probiotics on Growth Performance, Immunity, Antioxidant Capacity and Gut Microbiota in Weaned Rabbits

In modern intensive animal husbandry, weaned rabbits frequently face disrupted intestinal barrier function and impaired weight gain-key signs of intestinal dysfunction and growth retardation-triggered by weaning stress. This not only affects rabbit welfare but also hinders production efficiency, making the development of safe, effective feed additives critical. As typical feed supplements, compound probiotics (multi-strain microbial formulations) can improve feed conversion ratio (a core production efficiency index) and maintain animal intestinal health, thus gaining increasing recognition in livestock research and practice.
