Gut Microbiota Alterations and Probiotic Intervention in Asian Elephants ( <i>Elephas maximus</i> ) with Gastrointestinal Distress

2026-06-23

Abstract excerpt

Advances in metagenomic sequencing have transformed our understanding of host-associated microbiota, revealing critical roles in immune regulation, nutrient metabolism, and gastrointestinal (GI) homeostasis. However, the gut microbiome of large non-model species, particularly elephants, remains poorly characterized. Captivity introduces dietary, environmental, and management-related perturbations that may disrupt...
