Rumen Fluid Metabolomics Analysis Associated with Feed Efficiency on Crossbred Steers

Abstract The rumen has a central role in the efficiency of digestion in ruminants. To identify potential differences in rumen function that lead to differences in average daily gain (ADG), rumen fluid metabolomic analysis by LC-MS and multivariate/univariate statistical analysis were used to identif...
