Effect of Benzoic Acid on Nutrient Digestibility and Rectal Microbiota of Weaned Holstein Dairy Calves

Effect of Benzoic Acid on Nutrient Digestibility and Rectal Microbiota of Weaned Holstein Dairy Calves

Our previous study has shown that supplementation of 0.50% benzoic acid (BA) increased growth performance, promoted rumen fermentation, and improved the composition and function of rumen microbiota. This research was designed to conduct a deeper exploration of the impacts of dietary supplementation...
