Dietary and environmental factors affecting the dynamics of the gut bacteria in Tibetan Awang sheep (Ovis aries) across divergent breeding models
Our study indicated that breeding conditions significantly impact the gut microbiota of Awang sheep. The environmental association analysis underscores the importance of diet and altitude in shaping the gut microbiota of Awang sheep. The present findings provide insights into the microbiota dynamics of Awang sheep and offer guidance for their scientific husbandry management.
