Popis: Diet is an important component to influence microbiota, there are less data available about the microbiome of Suffolk cross with Tibetan (SCT) animals with different fodders. The current study was conducted for comparing the fungi microbiota in SCT sheep fed with different forages. Sequencing of ileum samples from sheep groups of AH (alfalfa and oat grass), BH (mixture of grass and concentrated feeds), CH (concentrated feed I), DH (concentrated feed II) and EH (concentrated feed III) achieved 3,171,271 raw and 2,719,649 filtered sequences. Concentrated feeds changed fungi microbiota in SCT sheep with three phyla and 47 genera significantly different among the groups. Genera include positive genus of Scytalidium and negative fungi of Sarocladium, Kazachstania, Gibberella, Scytalidium, Candida, Wickerhamomyces. The findings of our study will contribute to efficient feeding of SCT sheep at cold plateau areas.
