Partial replacement of corn silage with sorghum-sudangrass silage improves growth performance and rumen function in Hu sheep via microbial and metabolic modulation.
BMC microbiology 20250822 1
BACKGROUND: The rumen hosts a diverse microbial community and serves as a natural bioreactor that efficiently utilizes plant biomass. To explore the potential of sorghum-sudangrass silage (SS) as an alternative to whole-plant corn silage (WS), this study evaluated the growth performance, rumen microbiota, serum metabolome, and rumen fermentation characteristics of Hu sheep. The aim was to assess the feasibility of SS as a feed resource and to identify specific rumen bacteria that interact with h ...[more]
