Impact of fermented wine lees on gut microbiota and metabolic responses in Guanling crossbred cattle.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The addition of wine lees to diets can make up for the deficiencies caused by traditional forages in beef cattle farming. However, the effects of different wine lees ratios on average daily weight, gastrointestinal microbial community structure and metabolites in Guanling crossbred cattle have been rarely studied. This study assessed the effects of feeds containing wine lees on weight gain, gastrointestinal microbial community structure, and metabolites in Guanling crossbred cattle and elucidated the metabolic responses induced by wine lees. Eighteen cows were randomly assigned to receive fed concentrate (C group), feed containing 15% wine lees (group A), or feed containing 30% wine lees (group B) for 60 days.

Results

The average daily weight gain of group A and g
