Effects of Management, Dietary Intake, and Genotype on Rumen Morphology, Fermentation, and Microbiota, and on Meat Quality in Yaks and Cattle
Traditionally, yaks graze only natural grassland, even in harsh winters.Meat from grazing yaks is considered very healthy; however, feedlot fattening, which includes concentrate, has been introduced.We questioned whether this change in management and diet would have an impact on the rumen and meat quality of yaks.This study examined the morphology,
