Gut microbiota-driven indole-3-propionic acid and kynurenine production is associated with improved metabolic adaptation in periparturient dairy cows

Gastrointestinal microbes convert tryptophan into various bioactive metabolites that influence host energy metabolism; however, these mechanisms are not well understood in periparturient dairy cows, which experience marked metabolic challenges during this period. In this study, we used periparturient dairy cows with ru...
