Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of niacin supplementation to a high-concentrate diet (ratio of concentrate supplement to forage = 70:30) on the growth performance, rumen fermentation, rumen microbiota, and metabolomics of sheep. Twelve sheep were randomly divided into two groups: (1) a control group (CON,…
