The value of gut microbiota to predict feed efficiency and growth of rabbits under different feeding regimes

Abstract Gut microbiota plays an important role in nutrient absorption and could impact rabbit feed efficiency. This study aims at investigating such impact by evaluating the value added by microbial information for predicting individual growth and cage phenotypes related to feed efficiency. The dat...
