description The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in meat quality between two local breeds of Tibetan sheep, the White Tibetan sheep and the Black Tibetan sheep in Qinghai, and to search for metabolic mechanisms that produce meat quality differences by analyzing differential metabolites and key rumen microorganisms. The meat quality results showed that one breed, SG73, was superior to the other (WG). Further investigation identified differences in the composition of muscle metabolites and rumen microorganisms between the two Tibetan sheep breeds. It also regulates muscle tenderness, water retention, fat content and the composition and content of AA and FA through two major metabolic pathways, AA metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism. These findings could be beneficial for the development of breeding strategies for Tibetan sheep in Qinghai in the future.
