Multi-level regulation of hindgut homeostasis by volatile fatty acid administration in dairy goats: linking microbial metabolism to epithelial inflammation and barrier function

ABSTRACT This study provided a comprehensive exploration of the nutritional regulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) on hindgut microbial metabolism and epithelial homeostasis in dairy goats. Twenty-four goats were orally administered sodium acetate (SA) at 0.8 g/kg of body weight (BW), propionate...
