Dietary β-hydroxybutyric acid improves the growth performance of young ruminants based on rumen microbiota and volatile fatty acid biosynthesis

IntroductionThe ketone body β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB) plays critical roles in cellular proliferation and metabolic fuel utilization; however, its effects on the rumen microbiota remain unknown.MethodsHere, three doses of BHB (low, medium, and high) were supplemented to early-weaned goat kids.Resul...
