Response of blood biochemical metabolites, ruminal fermentation, and bacterial genetic diversity to chitosan supplementation in goats

Puntos clave

• Chitosan supplementation improves blood biochemical metabolites and supports ruminal fermentation in goats.
• Key metrics indicate an increase in bacterial genetic diversity following chitosan treatment.
• Observational analysis measuring metabolites and genetic diversity provides insights into dietary interventions for goats.
• Findings highlight the potential of chitosan to enhance goat health and optimize ruminal function.
