Differences in production performance, fore-digestive tract microbiota, and expression levels of nutrient transporters of Hu sheep with different feed conversion ratio
Feed costs account for a large portion of housed sheep. The purpose of comparing the performance and intestinal microbial composition of different FCR Hu sheep is to regulate the gastrointestinal microecology in production practice. This helps livestock producers choose low-FCR Hu sheep to maximize production costs, improve efficiency, and achieve the purpose of low-carbon production.
