Multi-omics reveals the effects of dietary supplementation with <i>Bupleuri radix</i> branch powder on gut microbiota and lipid metabolism: insights into gut microbial-muscle interactions
Enhancing livestock growth performance and improving meat quality are important guidelines for the development of the current animal husbandry industry; thus, we explored a comprehensive study of <i>Bupleuri Radix</i> (BR) on growth performance, gut microbiology, and muscle lipid metabolism in Shaanxi fine-wool sheep (SFS). Our research has found that BR could improve the growth performance of SFS and meat quality by affecting gut microbes. This study provides new solutions to improve the economic efficiency of animal husbandry.
