BCAA supplementation enhances milk fat synthesis in Yili mares and promotes foal growth through remodeling of intestinal amino acid metabolism
We conclude that BCAAs supplementation regulates milk fat synthesis and promotes foal growth via a milk-microbiota-metabolism axis, providing a basis for improving milk quality and offspring development through maternal nutrition.
