Impact of coprophagy prevention on the growth performance, serum biochemistry, and intestinal microbiome of rabbits

Abstract Background Coprophagy plays a vital role in maintaining growth and development in many small herbivores. Here, we constructed a coprophagy model by dividing rabbits into three groups, namely, control group (CON), sham-coprophagy prevention group (SCP), and coprophagy prevention group (CP),...
