The results indicated that SA effectively enhanced the richness of the gut microbiota and optimized community structure. At the phylum level, SA selectively enriched Bacillota, Fusobacteriota, Cyanobacteriota and Thermodesulfobacteriota, while suppressing Pseudomonadota, Bacteroidota, and Actinomycetota. At the genus level, SA promoted the proliferation of beneficial bacteria such as\n                      <jats:italic>Lactococcus, Enterococcus, Bacteroides<\/jats:italic>\n                      and\n                      <jats:italic>Bifidobacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                      , whilst inhibiting potentially pathogenic bacteria such as\n                      <jats:italic>Streptococcus, Escherichia\u2010Shigella, Citrobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and\n                      <jats:italic>Enterobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                      .
