Partial replacement of corn silage with sorghum-sudangrass silage improves growth performance and rumen function in Hu sheep via microbial and metabolic modulation

Abstract Background The rumen hosts a diverse microbial community and serves as a natural bioreactor that efficiently utilizes plant biomass. To explore the potential of sorghum-sudangrass silage (SS) as an alternative to whole-plant corn silage (WS), this study evaluated the growth performance, rum...
