fermented feed (PRJCA048672)
Pretreating feed through fermentation to enhance its nutritional value is an effective way to optimize resource use, especially in young ruminants with developing digestive systems. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and optimize a fermented feed (FF) production method using a microbial consortium of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Bacillus licheniformis, and Enterococcus faecalis, and to examine the effects and underlying mechanisms of FF feeding on growth performance and ruminal functional profiles in lambs.
