Litter size influences rumen microbiota and fermentation efficiency, thus determining host early growth in goats

IntroductionMultiple litters are accompanied by low birth weight, low survival rates, and growth rates in goats during early life. Regulating rumen microbiota structure can indirectly or directly affect host metabolism and animal growth. However, the relationship between high litter size and rumen m...
