Microorganisms, SCFAs and TJP in Honghe Yellow cattle
We postulated that dietary energy levels have the potential to affect the microorganisms and SCFAs of rumen and tight junction proteins of rumen and brain. In this study, representative cattle breeds in China (Honghe Yellow cattle) were used as experimental animals, which demonstrated these hypotheses by assessing the effects of different dietary energy levels (high, medium, and low energy) on rumen microbiota, SCFAs in rumen fluid and TJP in tissues of Honghe Yellow cattle.
