Gastrointestinal 16S rRNA sequencing
This study aimed to screen an effective synbiotic combination (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum plus fructooligosaccharides) and compare two administration routes (milk replacer vs. starter feed) on gastrointestinal development and health in lambs. Sampling was performed at the West Campus of Tianjin Agricultural University, China. Gastrointestinal content samples were collected from lambs for 16S rRNA sequencing.
