<i>Clostridium butyricum</i> Improves Rumen Fermentation and Growth Performance of Heat-Stressed Goats In Vitro and In Vivo
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of <i>Clostridium butyricum</i> on rumen fermentation and the growth performance of heat-stressed goats. The in vitro fermentation was carried out using <i>Clostridium butyricum</i> supplement at 0% (CG), 0.025% (CB1), 0.05% (CB2), 0.1...
