Multi-omics analysis revealed coordinated responses of rumen microbiota and epithelium of goats to dietary supplementation of glucosamine selenium.

ABSTRACT: Selenium (Se) is one of the essential trace elements for ruminants. The impact of varying dietary Se levels on rumen epithelium and microbiota remains inadequately studied. This study used multi-omics techniques to investigate the coordinated response of rumen microbiota and epithelium to dietary glucosamine selenium (GASe) supplementation. Sixty female Wanlin White goats (19.90 ± 2.00 kg) at 4 months of age were randomly divided into 4 groups with 15 replications of 1 goat each. Goats in the control (CON), and the low (L), medium (M) and high does (H) groups were supplemented GASe at 0, 0.6, 1.2 and 2.4 mg Se/kg, respectively. After a 60-d feeding trial, 5 goats per group were randomly selected for slaughter and sampling. The results showed that average daily gain, rumen papilla length, a
