Dietary protein levels modulate the gut microbiome composition through fecal samples derived from lactating ewes

Dietary protein levels modulate the gut microbiome composition through fecal samples derived from lactating ewes

In ruminants, the digestion and utilization of dietary proteins are closely linked to the bacterial populations that are present in the gastrointestinal tract. In the present study, 16S rDNA sequencing, together with a metagenomic strategy was used to characterize the fecal bacteria of ewes in the e...
