Nutrient Utilization and Gut Microbiota Composition in Giant Pandas of Different Age Groups

Nutrient Utilization and Gut Microbiota Composition in Giant Pandas of Different Age Groups

Proper feeding and nutrition are vital for maintaining the health of giant pandas (GPs), yet the impact of dietary changes and gut microbiota on their nutrient utilization remains unclear. To address these uncertainties, we investigated nutrient intake and apparent digestibility, as well as gut micr...
