Integrated rumen microbiome and lipidomic analyses reveal the effects of feeding-regimes on fat deposition and mutton odor formation in Bashbay sheep.
This study investigated how natural grazing and concentrate-based feeding regime regulate mutton odor-related compound deposition through the rumen microbiota-fermentation-lipid metabolism axis in Bashbay sheep. Sixteen healthy 6-month-old uncastrated Bashbay rams were assigned to the natural grazing group (FM) and the...
