Abstract

This study explored the differences in slaughter performance, blood biochemical indices, and ruminal and colonic microbiota between 6-month-old male and female Small-tailed Han sheep, a typical meat-wool dual-purpose breed in China. Twenty weaned lambs (10 males and 10 females) with uniform body condition were reared under unified feeding management until 6 months of age, followed by slaughter sampling and microbial sequencing detection. Results showed that male lambs had significantly higher pre-slaughter live weight, carcass weight and serum ALP content than females ( p p p p = 0.001). Sex h
