Sex-Driven Differences in the Rumen Microbe-Metabolite-Epithelial Transport Axis: An Integrated Multi-Omics Study of Rumen Function in Male and Female Zhongwei Goats
This project investigates sex-driven differences in rumen function between male and female Zhongwei goats. An integrated multi-omics approach was used to characterize the relationships among the rumen microbial community, metabolite profiles, and host epithelial transport-related features. The study aims to provide insights into sex-associated regulation of the rumen microbe-metabolite-epithelial transport axis and its potential contribution to rumen physiological differences in Zhongwei goats.
