The composition and predictive function of the fecal microbiota in female donkeys across different reproductive cycles by Jingya Xing, Mingquan Jia, Guoliang Zhang, Lanjie Li, Shuai Liu, Guangyu Li, Guiqin Liu

“…Bacteroidetes and Alloprevotella dominated during pregnancy in donkeys, while Firmicutes and unidentified Clostridiales were more prevalent during lactation. For functional prediction, there were significant differences in the relative abundance of pathways in the feces of female donkeys across different reproductive cycles, such as immune system processes, metabolism, glycan biosynthesis and metabolism, environmental adaptation and cell motility (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). …”
