Overview

Supplementation improves microbial community structure and growth performance in pre-weaning calves, suggesting sustainable livestock management.

Key Points

  • Sodium butyrate supplementation significantly increased microbial richness in buffalo calves, enhancing gut health.
  • The SB45 group had 3,555 operational taxonomic units compared to 1,356 in controls, indicating diverse gut microbiota.
  • Improved growth performance was observed with enhanced nutrient digestibility and higher final body weight in supplemented groups.
  • Elevated glucose and triglycerides in supplemented calves suggest optimized energy metabolism and microbial efficiency.
