Metabolomic analysis of rumen fluid in Tan sheep reveals sex-specific key metabolites and pathways associated with residual feed intake

Abstract Improving feed efficiency is a key factor in the sustainable development of the livestock industry. Livestock breeds with the low residual feed intake (RFI) trait can reduce feeding costs and increase economic benefits. The rumen metabolome is a pivotal variant affecting ruminant feed effic...
