摘要： Simple Summary Rumen microorganisms and their hosts have co-evolved over a long period of time, adapting to their environment. This co-evolution not only impacts the host phenotype but also establishes a sophisticated regulatory network with the host to uphold organismal homeostasis. This study's findings indicated that the process of three-way hybridization had a notable impact on the taxonomic characteristics, functions, and metabolites of rumen microbes. Moreover, significant interactions were observed between rumen microbes and metabolites in sheep, with biomarkers playing a significant role in influencing the variation in rumen metabolites. Meanwhile, rumen microbial markers in Hu sheep exhibited a predominantly positive correlation with down-regulated metabolites and a negative correlation with up-regulated metabolites. In contrast, rumen microbial markers in CAH lambs showed an overall negative correlation with down-regulated metabolites and a positive correlation with up-regulated metabolites. The data obtained in this study provide a basis for understanding hybridization advantages from microbial metabolic pathways.Abstract The objective of this experiment was to explore the effects of three-way hybridization on rumen microbes and metabolites in sheep using rumen metagenomics and metabolomics. Healthy Hu and CAH (Charolais x Australian White x Hu) male lambs of similar birth weight and age were selected for short-term fattening after intensive weaning to collect rumen fluid for sequencing. Rumen metagenomics diversity showed that Hu and CAH sheep were significantly segregated at the species, KEGG-enzyme, and CAZy-family levels. Moreover, the CAH significantly increased the ACE and Chao1 indices. Further, correlation analysis of the abundance of the top 80 revealed that the microorganisms were interrelated at the species, KEGG-enzyme, and CAZy-family levels. Overall, the microbiome significantly affected metabolites of the top five pathways, with the strongest correlation found with succinic acid. Meanwhile, species-level microbial markers significantly affected rumen differential metabolites. In addition, rumen microbial markers in Hu sheep were overall positively correlated with down-regulated metabolites and negatively correlated with up-regulated metabolites. In contrast, rumen microbial markers in CAH lambs were overall negatively correlated with down-regulated metabolites and positively correlated with up-regulated metabolites. These results suggest that three-way crossbreeding significantly affects rumen microbial community and metabolite composition, and that significant interactions exist between rumen microbes and metabolites.
