Effect of Early Weaning on the Intestinal Microbiota and Expression of Genes Related to Barrier Function in Lambs

Effect of Early Weaning on the Intestinal Microbiota and Expression of Genes Related to Barrier Function in Lambs

Weaning stress has been reported to impair intestinal health. The gut microbiota plays a vital role in the long-term health of the host. However, our understanding of weaning stress on gut microbiota and barrier function is very limited in livestock species, especially lambs. We investigated the eff...
