Metagenomics reveals fibre fermentation and AMR pathways in red grouse (Lagopus scotica) microbiota

Abstract Background The avian caecal microbiota plays a vital role in host nutrition, enabling non-digestible, fibrous material to be converted into compounds that can be absorbed and used as an energy source by the host. The diet of adult red grouse (Lagopus scotica) is dominated by heather (Callun...
