The gut-systemic metabolic axis across key life stages in Akhal-Teke horses: age-related dysregulation and targeted remodeling by a phytobiotic-probiotic symbiotic
The lack of scientifically defined physiological age, early warning systems for sub-health conditions, and targeted intervention strategies during equine aging has led to the premature loss of precious equine germplasm resources during their functional decline phase. Using Akhal-Teke horses as a model, this study investigated the age-related evolution of the gut-systemic metabolic axis and the intervention effects of a microecological preparation.
