Fumarate improves growth performance and fiber digestibility alongside rumen microbial and hydrogen metabolic remodeling in starch-rich-fed Hu sheep

Fumarate is widely regarded as an alternative ruminal electron acceptor and a precursor for propionate formation. Under starch-rich conditions, however, basal fermentation may already be biased toward propionate formation. Under these conditions, the metabolic routes through which fumarate exerts its effects remain...
