Topic: equine development of gut microbiota
Sample citations: [1]
[2]
A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
To repeat the citation for other statements, the reference needs to have a names: "<ref name=aa>"
The repeated citation works like this, with a forward slash.[1]
Section 1
In utero, horses intestinal tracts are close to sterile. Soon after birth, however, microbial colonization skyrockets. Proper colonization lasts about 50 days, and is incredibly important as improper microbial gut content can result in inflammation and metabolic disease [1]. Equine hind-gut microbiota enable nutritional optimization from an otherwise nutrient-poor foraging diet via plant material fermentation [2]. The initial colonization, stabilization, and then weaning period (4-6 months old) as a foal transfers to solid food are important periods in establishing the microbial composition of the colon [1].
Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.
Every point of information REQUIRES CITATION using the citation tool shown above.
