Medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides improve feed intake and oxidative stress of finishing bulls by regulating ghrelin concentration and gastrointestinal tract microorganisms and rumen metabolites

Abstract Background As a feed additive, medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs)/medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides (MCTs) have been used in ruminant production, but mostly added in the form of mixed esters. Studies have shown that MCTs may have a positive effect on feed intake or oxidative stress in ani...
