Effects of different fiber levels of energy feeds on rumen fermentation and the microbial community structure of grazing sheep

Abstract Background Rumen microbial community structure and stability are very important for ruminant health, growth and development, and livestock product yield. Dietary composition and nutritional structure affect microbial diversity and richness. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effe...
