Effects of yeast cultures on meat quality, flavor composition and rumen microbiota in lambs.

ABSTRACT: Since the banning of antibiotics, the use of feed additives to improve meat quality to satisfy people's pursuit of high quality has become a research hotspot. Yeast culture (YC) is rich in proteins, mannan oligosaccharides, peptides, and yeast cell metabolites, etc., and its use as a feed additive has a positive impact on improving meat quality. So the study aimed to provide a theoretical basis for YC improving mutton flavor and quality by detecting and analyzing the effects of YC on muscle physicochemical properties, amino acids, fatty acids, flavor composition, expression of related genes, and rumen microbiota of lambs. A total of 20 crossbred F1 weaned lambs (Australian white sheep♂ × Hu sheep♀; average 23.38 ± 1.17 kg) were randomly assigned to 2 groups, the control group (CON) and the
