Supplementing Lactobacillus brevis metabolite modifies carcass performances, characteristics of meat, taste-related compounds and fatty acid profiles of Heat Stressed Chikso Cattle

Rumen-protected LBMs supplementation effectively enhances growth performance and meat quality in heat-stressed Chikso steers. These benefits likely arise from improved antioxidant capacity, reduced oxidative stress, and modulation of fatty acid composition. This strategy holds promises for improving livestock resilience to climate challenges and warrants further research.
