Enhanced propionate and butyrate metabolism in cecal microbiota contributes to cold-stress adaptation in sheep

Abstract Background During cold stress, gut microbes play crucial roles in orchestrating energy metabolism to enhance environmental adaptation. In sheep, hindgut microbes ferment carbohydrates to generate short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as an energy source. However, the mechanisms by which hindgut m...
